Hello Jacque,
What Android version does your device run? A rough guess is that the
problem is security/permissions related. On Android 9+ there is something
equivalent to iOS ATS that blocks connections that do not comply with some
security standards. You can workaround this by adding a suitable entry to
the Android manifest.
See "Option 2" in this bug report:

Kind regards,
Panos
