Getting Network request failed when uploading images with apollo client react native android

I am using ApolloClient to send mutation that contains files (images) but I am getting

Error: Network request failed

this what I have done to create links

import { createUploadLink } from 'apollo-upload-client' v ==>> "^15.0.0";

const uploadLink = createUploadLink({
        uri: API_URL,
        headers: {
          "Authorization": `Bearer ${token}`,
          'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
          "Accept":"application/json"
        },
      });

this to handle errors

import { onError } from "@apollo/client/link/error"; v ==>> "^3.3.20"

   const errorLink = onError(({ graphQLErrors, networkError }) => {
        if (graphQLErrors)
          graphQLErrors.forEach(({ message, locations, path }) =>
            console.log(
              `[GraphQL error]: Message: ${message}, Location: ${locations}, Path: ${path}`,
            ),
          );
      
        if (networkError) console.log(`[Network zaid error]: ${networkError}`);
      });

then :

const client = new ApolloClient({
        cache: new InMemoryCache(),
        link: from([errorLink,uploadLink]),
        defaultOptions: {
          watchQuery: {
            fetchPolicy: 'cache-and-network',
            errorPolicy: 'none'
          },
          mutate: {
            mutation: "DocumentNode",
            errorPolicy: 'none'
          },
        },
      });

then I called the mutation :

       await client.mutate({

        mutation:
        gql`  
         mutation($data: PostCreatInput!, $files: [CustomCreateImages!]!) {
           createpost(data: $data, files: $files) {
              id
          }}`,

        variables: {

          data: {****},

          files:[{file:ReactNativeFile}]

         }
      
      
      }).then(response => {
        console.log(response);
        return response
      }).catch(response => {
        console.log(response);
        return response
      })

i used ReactNativeFile generated by apollo-upload-client

          new ReactNativeFile({
            uri:  "file:///storage/***.jpg",
            name: "a.jpg",
            type: "image/jpeg"
          });

I am using react native "react-native": "0.62.2" and I have a live server not using localhost I did check the server logs this request never left the mobile; there was no record of it on the server.

been stuck all day on it, any help would be highly appreciated!
