Messenger InstantGames - web request works fine on Messenger webpage, but fails when played through Messenger...

I have a game written in TypeScript uploaded into Facebook Instant Games. I have a super simple call to obtain real timestamp from my own server.



I managed to get it working after uploading a build into InstantGames and after facing issues with CORS. I get proper response with status 200.



However, there is an issue with the same request, but from InstantGame played through Messenger app, both on iOS and android. I tried to put as match logs as possible, with no reasonable answer.



I am creating XMLHttpRequest(), when the game is started on desktop browser I finally get:



xhr.readyState == 4 and xhr.status == 200.



I am using https url.



On mobile Messenger, I get only xhr.readyState == 4 and xhr.status == 0.



I also tried with moving from XMLHttpRequest() into fetch(), same behavior - on desktop browser it works fine, on mobile I get:



I/chromium(22226): [INFO:CONSOLE(0)] "Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to fetch"



Server code:



<?php
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://my-app-id.apps.fbsbx.com');
$date = new DateTime();
echo $date->getTimestamp();
?>


Any ideas why is it failing when played by mobile Messenger app and how to fix it properly?

Not sure if this is what you hit, but the messenger apps don't like HTTP/2. Lost several hours of my life on figuring that out.
