[Android] [0.83.0-rc.4] Network inspector not showing response body in Preview/Response tabs #54796
Description
Description
When using the React Native DevTools, the Network panel fails to show the response body for network requests on Android.
The request itself resolves successfully, and the response payload is available in the app, but the DevTools UI does not show it.
Specifically:
- In the Network request details sidebar, tabs other than
ResponseandPreviewfunction normally. The Preview and Response tabs remain empty, even though the backend returns a valid JSON response. The following message is displayed:Failed to load response data Internal error: Could not retrieve response body for the given requestld. - The same request does display correctly in DevTools when running the app on iOS.
Steps to reproduce
- Run React Native 0.83.0-rc.4 project using react native cli
- Open React Native Devtools, navigate to
Networktab - Make a network request visible in the inspector, which should yield a response (for example https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/ditto, which should return a json)
const response = await fetch("https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/ditto");- Click on the request to view details, navigate to
PrevieworResponsetab - The tab displays error message, despite being able to access the resulting json in the code:
Failed to load response data
Internal error: Could not retrieve response body for the given requestld.
