App Clip running Firestore from React Native

I got the following error in XCode running a piece of Firestore from React Native (0.72.0): [FirebaseFirestore][I-FST000001] WatchStream (104f05718) Stream error: 'Unavailable: failed to connect to all addresses; last error: UNKNOWN: No route to host'

Interestingly, this error only appears on a real decice running the App Clip (iPhone 12 mini - iOS 16.5.1). The thing that bugs me is that the same code runs well on the iPhone simulator, even with an App Clip too! Also note that the full app has the same piece of code and runs well on both simulator and real device. No problem there.

What is happening hete and why is Firestore on App Clip failing only on a real device?

PD: I am awate that Firestore SDK is not working for native iOS apps with App Clips. And this could be esentially the same, but why it works on the simulator then?
