[react-native] React Native: Possible unhandled promise rejection

I'm getting the following error: Possible unhandled promise rejection (id:0: Network request failed

Here's the promise code, I don't see what's wrong here, any ideas?

  return fetch(url)
    .then(function(response){
      return response.json();
    })
    .then(function(json){
      return {
        city: json.name,
        temperature: kelvinToF(json.main.temp),
        description: _.capitalize(json.weather[0].description)
      }
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
    console.log('There has been a problem with your fetch operation: ' + error.message);
    });
}

**Edit: I added a catch function and got a better error You passed an undefined or null state object; instead, use forceUpdate(). index.ios.js:64 undefined

Here's the index.ios.js code. The url is fine and giving me the correct json data. I can see with console log that both region.latitude and region.longitude are available in Api(region.latitude, region.longitude). But data is undefined. I'm still not sure what's going on, why there's a problem with data and why it's undefined.

      .then((data) => {

        this.setState(data);
      });

This question is related to react-native

The answer is


delete build folder projectfile\android\app\build and run project


Adding here my experience that hopefully might help somebody.

I was experiencing the same issue on Android emulator in Linux with hot reload. The code was correct as per accepted answer and the emulator could reach the internet (I needed a domain name).

Refreshing manually the app made it work. So maybe it has something to do with the hot reloading.


In My case, I am running a local Django backend in IP 127.0.0.1:8000 with Expo start. Just make sure you have the server in public domain not hosted lcoally on your machine


You should add the catch() to the end of the Api call. When your code hits the catch() it doesn't return anything, so data is undefined when you try to use setState() on it. The error message actually tells you this too :)


According to this post, you should enable it in XCode.

  1. Click on your project in the Project Navigator
  2. Open the Info tab
  3. Click on the down arrow left to the "App Transport Security Settings"
  4. Right click on "App Transport Security Settings" and select Add Row
  5. For created row set the key “Allow Arbitrary Loads“, type to boolean and value to YES.
