App crashed when calling connect(). (RN0.48.3)

[zhangsir199]

this.socket = new SocketIO('http://192.168.1.12:3000', {});
connect() will not work unless add http:// prefix to host, then app will be crash when calling connect()

I am also facing the same issue on android. After calling connect the app just crashes.
