react-native: Unexpected Websocket fail with big messages on Android

Description

I have a Websocket implementation that needs to send big chunks of Data at times.

The biggest chunk is a string with a length of 26858790 characters.

On iOS this is not a problem, but when running the same code on Android the Socket hangs up automatically with code 1001:

{"code": 1001, "isTrusted": false, "reason": ""}

This indicates to me, that there is some default setting in the Android implementation of Websockets. Sadly I don’t have obvious access to that via the provided react-native Websocket API.

Please help! 😃

Steps to reproduce

1. Setup a react-native project
2. Create Websocket

const ws = new WebSocket(...)

1. Somewhere add a snippet like this:

      let myMsg = '';
      while (newmsg.length < 26858780) {
        myMsg = myMsg + "a";
      }


    ws.send(JSON.stringify({type: "inProgress", message: myMsg});

This will produce the described error
