I have the same issue. After cloning the repo I had to fix a whole bunch of react-native related resource not found error, only to find the app still isn't working. I got stuck on the initial log on screen. Upon investigation I found the app isn't connecting to either the default url or the node socket.io chat sample(https://github.com/socketio/socket.io/tree/master/examples/chat). Code steps through without any errors, but the Emitter.Listener handler isn't firing at all.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Same here, project seems to me quite outdated, old android support libs. After fixing all problems - I got onto Login screen, but app is basically not responding to Join button. Hmm. Url provided in demo https://socket-io-chat.now.sh is out of order.

This repo still using the early version of the socket.io-client.

if it helps anyone: make sure you update build.gradle(app or module) compile ('io.socket:socket.io-client:0.8.3') { to compile ('io.socket:socket.io-client:2.0.1') {
