failed to execute 'send' on 'xmlhttprequest'

hi, while trying to work with remote debugging (#562 and #571) i upgraded to rn 0.32 and now i’m seeing this when enabling the remote debugging:

Failed to execute 'send' on 'XMLHttpRequest': Failed to load 'http://192.168.1.178:8082/create_session'.

i understand there’s some issues with remote debugging. the ip address is the ip of the android device

My guess is as follows. Running on a device and debugging fails because normally adb forward tcp:8082 tcp:8082 takes care of the correct redirection from device to host. Because you are debugging from chrome http://<ip-address>:8082/create_session is an invalid url.

I changed the following lines in node_modules/realm/lib/browser/rpc.js

// The global __debug__ object is provided by Visual Studio Code.
if (global.__debug__) {
    let request = global.__debug__.require('sync-request');
    let response = request('POST', url, {
      body: JSON.stringify(data),
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "text/plain;charset=UTF-8"
      }
    });

    statusCode = response.statusCode;
    responseText = response.body.toString('utf-8');
} else {
    let body = JSON.stringify(data);
    let request = new XMLHttpRequest();

    request.open('POST', url, false);
    request.send(body);

    statusCode = request.status;
    responseText = request.responseText;
}

to

    let request = global.__debug__.require('sync-request');
    let response = request('POST', url, {
      body: JSON.stringify(data),
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "text/plain;charset=UTF-8"
      }
    });

    statusCode = response.statusCode;
    responseText = response.body.toString('utf-8');
} else {
    let body = JSON.stringify(data);
    let request = new XMLHttpRequest();

    // ALWAYS POINT TO LOCALHOST
    if (__DEV__) {
        url = 'http://localhost:8082' + url.substring(url.lastIndexOf('/'));
    }

    request.open('POST', url, false);
    request.send(body);

    statusCode = request.status;
    responseText = request.responseText;
}

And now everything works fine (even when not debugging remotely) I hope this helps
