I think it because different time of device and pc :) so, try to set your pc time same as device time or later than device time.

It worked. But this is atrocious. :/

That sounds weird, the time of the device should not affect the Socket.IO connection... Does somebody have an explanation?

And also socket connects as new client multiple times even when socket.connect() was not called. Before I synced the time for both pc and device especially working with debugging mode this happened. While on production even if the time is different, socket was working. IMO this has to do with debugging mode. PS: I was using chrome debugger.

Edit: Syncing time also make apps run faster on debugging mode
