I am developing a react native app using expo and firebase and am trying to set up the local emulator for testing/debugging. Creating accounts and logging in/logging out work on the actual database, but when I run these functions with the auth emulator attached, I get the following:

Firebase: Error (auth/network-request-failed).

This occurs on both an android pixel 5 emulator and my actual phone (galaxy s8+). Other solutions for this error seem to be for browser security reasons (i.e. CORS), but that doesn't seem to be applicable here. The code connecting to the emulator is:

import { initializeApp } from "firebase/app";
import {getAuth, connectAuthEmulator} from "firebase/auth";
import {getFirestore, connectFirestoreEmulator} from "firebase/firestore";
import {getFunctions, connectFunctionsEmulator} from "firebase/functions";

const firebaseConfig = {/* config object */};

const fbApp = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

export const fbAuth = getAuth(fbApp);
connectAuthEmulator(fbAuth, "http://localhost:9099");
export const fbFunctions = getFunctions(fbApp);
connectFunctionsEmulator(fbFunctions, 'localhost', 5001);
export const db = getFirestore(fbApp);
connectFirestoreEmulator(db, 'localhost', 8080);

The port is correct and the emulator interface shows that auth is running fine.
