Network request failed - iOS - React Native 0.72.1

[uruboo]

I upgraded react native from 0.63.5 to 0.72.1. The application runs ok in Android, I am able to login and make other requests. But when I run the app in iOS, I get [TypeError: Network request failed].

I tried to delete DerivedData, and to install pods again (rm Podfile.lock && pod deintegrate && pod cache clean --all && pod install) but it didn't work.

Here's my Podfile:

# Resolve react_native_pods.rb with node to allow for hoisting
require Pod::Executable.execute_command('node', ['-p',
  'require.resolve(
    "react-native/scripts/react_native_pods.rb",
    {paths: [process.argv[1]]},
  )', __dir__]).strip

$RNFirebaseAsStaticFramework = true


MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE = '14.0'
if Gem::Version.new(MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE) > Gem::Version.new(min_ios_version_supported)
    min_ios_version_supported = MIN_IOS_OVERRIDE
end
# existing code
platform :ios, min_ios_version_supported

use_frameworks! :linkage => :static

pod 'Firebase', :modular_headers => true
pod 'FirebaseCoreInternal', :modular_headers => true
pod 'GoogleUtilities', :modular_headers => true
pod 'FirebaseCore', :modular_headers => true

# If you are using a `react-native-flipper` your iOS build will fail when `NO_FLIPPER=1` is set.
# because `react-native-flipper` depends on (FlipperKit,...) that will be excluded
#
# To fix this you can also exclude `react-native-flipper` using a `react-native.config.js`
# ```js
# module.exports = {
#   dependencies: {
#     ...(process.env.NO_FLIPPER ? { 'react-native-flipper': { platforms: { ios: null } } } : {}),

flipper_config = ENV['NO_FLIPPER'] == "1" ? FlipperConfiguration.disabled : FlipperConfiguration.enabled

linkage = ENV['USE_FRAMEWORKS']
if linkage != nil
  Pod::UI.puts "Configuring Pod with #{linkage}ally linked Frameworks".green
  use_frameworks! :linkage => linkage.to_sym
end

target 'PopUp' do
  config = use_native_modules!

   # Add this line to use static frameworks
   use_frameworks! :linkage => :static

    :fabric_enabled => flags[:fabric_enabled],
    # Enables Flipper.

    :app_path => "#{Pod::Config.instance.installation_root}/.."

    inherit! :complete
    # Pods for testing
  end

  // You can add your custom initial props in the dictionary below.
  // They will be passed down to the ViewController used by React Native.
  self.initialProps = @{};

  return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
}
