[Bug]: Fails to handle network request on react-native about cognitive-services-speech-sdk-js

[glharper]

@mxplusb The JS/TS SDK is the same, we compile from TS to JS for binary distribution. By "Native", I mean basically all the other languages Speech SDK supports, which are projections from a C++ core layer. For iOS, we support Objective C/Swift, for Android, we support Java, and we also support .NET, Go, Python, and C++.

For JS, we do have an example integration repo with React Native using Speech and Translation scenarios here, but I haven't attempted introducing conversation scenarios there.

@mxplusb Thank you for using JS Speech SDK and writing this issue up. We chose bent as a dependency because it has zero dependencies and is extremely small, while still providing the functionality the Speech SDK needs for REST requests.

REST requests in the Speech SDK only happen for conversation scenarios (ConversationTranscriber and ConversationTranslator), which are complex enough scenarios on their own. Adding the (unsupported) complication of React Native, this seems like app development The Hard Way. Could you tell me more about your scenario? Native Speech SDK supports both iOS and Android.

Are there two different Speech SDKs for JS/TS? I don't think I knew that, or that it was clear to me. Going over the docs with a fine-toothed comb, I now see the very subtle difference... and I think I am using the wrong one? Let me see if I can figure out where I went wrong and try again! If that's the case, you are absolutely correct that I am 100% doing things The Hard Way 😅 I will update once I try to fix it

Could you tell me more about your scenario?

Sure! I'm disabled have recently been dealing with muteness as a sudden and sharp change in my life, amongst other things. Being new to this form of disability, I searched for tools and apps that can help offset the challenge; what exists is... not as good as it could be. As part of therapy, I'm working on building a modern, high-quality cross-platform mobile app designed to help disabled folks communicate more effectively.

That being said, I've spent a career working in systems development, so this is my first foray into any mobile development, and I definitely feel like I'm accidentally doing it the hard way

I did just look, and I'm using "microsoft-cognitiveservices-speech-sdk": "^1.31.0". Is that this code base or a different one?

Great, thank you!
