The request failed because it wasn't able to reach the ipify service - how fix it?

[FetFrumos]

I using your packages in my flutter android app. Quite often I get this error:

Exception: The request failed because it wasn't able to reach the ipify service. This is most likely due to a networking error of some sort.

This probably happens when the app is in the background. I am using this library - background_fetch .

This is my stack exception:

dart_ipify_base.dart in Ipify._send at line 160 within dart_ipify Called from: <asynchronous suspension> dart_ipify_base.dart in Ipify.ipv4 at line 54 within dart_ipify Called from: <asynchronous suspension> dart_ipify_base.dart in Ipify.geo at line 128 within dart_ipify Called from: <asynchronous suspension> app_geo.dart in AppGeo.getCountry at line 8 within myapp Called from: <asynchronous suspension> home_page.dart in _HomePageState.getCountry at line 99 within myapp Called from: <asynchronous suspension> home_page.dart in _HomePageState._onBackgroundFetch at line 111 within myapp

where can I find the cause of the error? how can I fix this error? any tips?

This error appeared to me using Flutter Web with a Parse server SDK calling a Cloud Function

did anyone find a solution?

I am not able to reproduce this
@dipen-apptrait can you paste the stack trace error? probably will need dart/flutter versions

I figured out this was due to an AdBlock extension (uBlock Origin in my case) blocking the access (i suppose to avoid tracking of users).

I just had to assume that the user might have a way to hide the ip, so the app must be able to handle the error.

If I remember it correctly, surrounding the call with a try-catch should be enough.
But then you must ensure that the ip is not a requirement for the proper execution of your app. Something that, if I'm not wrong, might be even enforced by law in many countries.

I've encountered this error today, it seems to be not reaching to the ipify.org. I've tried to establish a connection with native http module didn't get luck with that either. So i don't think it's package relatable. I've tried other services too that provides same functionality, nothing. Somehow it seems to be blocking from the iOS it self?

Edit: I was using a dns provider that block access to ipify.org, it works now as expected.

I am not facing any issue here...
Please check your firewalls, extensions, etc... or might be there was downtime at ipify server side

You're probably right, I'm using Google's dns and having the same issue.
I've used try and catch but now i don't have the IP address.

It's weird cause the console logs from my flutter web app says it's a CORS policy thing
