Fetch request post method in React Native

Question

I cannot make it work the fetch request with the post method, with get other api calls works great.This is my code:

return fetch(URL_LOCAL + `/addLike`, {
    method: 'post',
    body: JSON.stringify({a: 1})
})
    .then(response => Promise.all([response, response.json()]))
    .catch(err => {
        return Promise.reject(err);
    })

I made a console.log before the fetch about the URL_LOCAL and its fine it returns http://localhost:5000.

It gives me this error:

Network request failed

I'am on an android simulator using chrome dev tools to see the logs, and i'am using node and mongodb as backend , but i put a log in the beginning of the call but is not fired

EDIT: I make it work but with the api in production is the same code that i used with localhost:5000, I dont know what can be wrong with the localhost

Can you try replacing your code with following:

return fetch(URL_LOCAL + `/addLike`, {
    method: 'post',
    body: JSON.stringify({a: 1})
})
    .then(response => Promise.resolve(response.json()))
    .catch(err => {
        return Promise.reject(err);
    })
