Answer 2

One quick and easiest way to solve this is to choose a device with API 29 or below, there is some issue with higher API for the internet. The DNS thing was not working for me, so I tried degrading the device API level, and chrome, etc. started working. My application, however, was able to use the internet as we could fetch the data from BackEnd on higher API but had chrome issues testing some other functionality.
