Description
Description
reading textual information from a http (not https!) fetch response is not possible on iOS. It always returns undefined.
I have added the required ATS excemptions in my iOS app like this:
<key>streamingsoundtracks.com</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
<true/>
<key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
<true/>
</dict>

Research direction
Start with the linked Snack and reproduce the fetch call against the stated HTTP URL on iOS and Android, comparing the response and response.text() behavior. Trace the React Native iOS fetch implementation and its response-body handling; done means the iOS call returns the textual response rather than undefined while Android behavior remains intact.
