You should follow these steps to connect with the bundler.

   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
   <uses-permission 
   android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
    <application
      android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" // make sure that this line is added.
        .......>
         .......
    </application>
