Fix SocketTimeoutException
in React Native
✅ Solution
SocketTimeoutException in React Native usually indicates a network request taking longer than the default timeout period, often due to slow internet or server issues. Increase the timeout value for your `XMLHttpRequest` using the `timeout` property, or if you're using `fetch`, implement a custom timeout mechanism; investigate network connectivity issues as well. Consider implementing retry logic with exponential backoff to handle intermittent failures gracefully.
