I am using apollo graphql client in react native android app.  
my code:  
const httpLink = createHttpLink({  
uri: “[https://89.116.232.181:4000/graphql](https://89.116.232.181:4000/graphql)”, - not real address but the same format  
})  
const httpLinkWithOptions = ApolloLink.from([  
cleanTypeName,  
authFlowLink,  
httpLink,  
])  
export const client = new ApolloClient({  
link: httpLinkWithOptions,  
cache  
})  
Error : Network request failed

You typically cannot connect via `https` to an IP address, because certificate verification for the encryption (the `s`) relies on the domain name. I’m actually not sure why that works from sandbox—is it an embedded sandbox from the server or the [Apollo-hosted sandbox](https://studio.apollographql.com/sandbox)?
