[ISSUE] Error fetching https url on Android 4.4.4

[fgagneten]

Description:

I'm having an android native error when I try to fetch some json data from my remote api, using HTTPS. The error only occurs in my Android 4.4.4 after upgrading to RN 0.61 (Worked with RN 0.59). I found a workaround implementing conscrypt (see details below) but I would like to know if there is any possibility to find a solution without using my workaround..

React Native version:

Steps To Reproduce

1. Just running my app with an Android 4.4.4 Sony Xperia E2104 and fetching some https request to my server (Connection with TLS 1.2. Issuer: Let's Encrypt Authority X3)

It is only happens with my Android 4.4.4 device.

Expected Results

Get te json result.

I can solve the problem implementing the following line in my build.gradle (app)

    implementation 'org.conscrypt:conscrypt-android:2.2.1'

And also adding in onCreate method of the MainApplication

      Security.insertProviderAt(new org.conscrypt.OpenSSLProvider(), 1);

Using React Native 0.59 worked with this phone. After upgrading to RN 0.61 stop working.

Thanks!
