@themaxsmith I checked your code changes, but I got the error:

java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "ws-local.pusher.com": No address associated with hostname

Do you know why?

[eng-ahmad-sameer]

Any near plans to fix and merge this PR?

Those of you who created forks, did you manage to make it work with custom hosts?

[clicktodev]

I got it to work but only on Android, IOS for some reason refuses to connect, just keeps attempting to reconnect.

  PusherAuthorizerResult,
} from '@pusher/pusher-websocket-react-native';

const handleConnect = async () => {
      try {
        const pusher = Pusher.getInstance();
        await pusher.init({
          apiKey: 'apiKey',
          onAuthorizer,
          host: 'soketi.example.com',
          cluster: 'mt1',
          onConnectionStateChange: e => {
            console.log('onConnectionStateChange', e);
          },
          onError: e => {
            console.log('onError', e);
          },
        });
        await pusher.connect();
      } catch {}
    };

@benw-pusher can we at least mark the property as unstable_host and merge this? this way we can use the property at our own risk.
using unstable_ prefix is pretty popular

[talyssonlima]

Aren't they going to merge?

[HaidarZ]

Is there any chance we can get this merged?

[DenisPostnikov]

Is there any updates?

[clicktodev]

Just use pusher.js it's working without issues.
