Sockets not connecting when running on release build

I'm currently trying to publish a cordova app on google play store... However when I run the release build from the store the app does not connect to the sockets.

I am using LaravelEcho with SocketIo client.

• cordova - 9.0.0 (cordova-lib@9.0.1)
• angular - 8.1.2
• socket.io - 2.1.4
• laravel-echo - 1.6.1

After I searched the problem I found some results about a permission, but I already have that.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Is it possible to debug the app in the release mode?

This is how I imported the NgxLaravelEchoModule

NgxLaravelEchoModule.forRoot({
userModel: 'App.Models.User',
notificationNamespace: 'App\\Notifications',
options: {
broadcaster: 'socket.io',
host: environment.socketsURL
}
}),


I managed to pint an error message thrown by socket module

xhr poll error
