react native can't connect to android device

Question

I'm just start learning react native and I'm trying to use expo, after I created my app using expo and try to connect it to expo app on android device I got this error Uncaught Error:java.net.socketTimeoutException: failed to connect to /172.28.118.45 (port 19000) from /192.168.1.3 (port 38238) after 10000ms

I'm using wsl2 on windows and I think the problem could be, there's no bridge between wsl2 ip and windows ip but I couldn't find solution for this issue

This happend me before, but using only react native in WSL (not with expo) and you're right, the WSL cannot reach your android device. I find some solutions but none of this work for me, you can try it maybe with expo is different.
