iOS works ok, but Android app issues "Connect Timeout has Expired" message on startup and nothing loads

[Lee-Hounshell-at-MarianaTek]

Increasing the connectTimeout at line 13 of AndroidHttpClient.kt does not fix it.

I see this in logcat:

Yep, that's true. The problem is in line isMinifyEnabled = true. You can change isMinifyEnabled to false and it'll be working.

getByName("release") {
            isMinifyEnabled = true
            signingConfig = signingConfigs.getByName("release")

            proguardFiles(
                getDefaultProguardFile("proguard-android-optimize.txt"),
                file("proguard-rules.pro")
            )
        }

Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization#1129 you need to create pro guard rules for serialization
