POST fails with ReadableNativeMap cannot be cast to String error

Question

I'm working in React Native, I use PHP for backend and when I use fetch POST request I get so strange error, and I dont know why it happens. I checked the url so it works no problem, also normal fetch() is working without POST but when I try to post it happens. When I try it in local server fetch POST works.. but in server, I get this error :

ERROR : com.facebook.react.bridge.ReadableNativeMap cannot be cast to java.lang.String

React native codes :

fetch('http://xxx/react_test1', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    name: inputName,
    email: inputEmail,
    phone: inputPhone
  }),
}).then((response) => response.json())
  .then((responseJson) => {
    Alert.alert(responseJson);
  }).catch((error) => {
  alert(error);
});

Solution

Alert.alert receives an string, and what you're getting from the fetch response is internally a com.facebook.react.bridge.ReadableNativeMap object (which is what the native implementation for fetch returns). You can try:

Alert.alert(JSON.stringify(responseJson))

If you were using iOS you'll get a completely different error:

Exception '-[_NSFrozenDictionaryM length]: unrecognized selector  ...

I checked now it gives other error but inside of alert, so we fixed this one. new Error is : {"message":"",exception":"Symfony\\Component\\HttpKernel...
