Unknown Network Bug when using DeepSeek
When using the DeepSeek provider in Chatbox (iOS app v1.18.1 and web version), all requests to DeepSeek fail with a network error, even though the same DeepSeek API key works fine when called via Python. The error is: API Error: Error from DeepSeek: Error: Network Error: Load failed ( api.deepseek.com ) Steps to Reproduce Open the Chatbox iOS app (v1.18.1). Go to Settings → Provider / Model and select DeepSeek as the provider. Enter a valid DeepSeek API key (the same key that works correctly in a Python script calling the official DeepSeek API) Start a new chat using a DeepSeek model (e.g. deepseek-chat). Send any simple message such as “hello”. Observe that the request fails with a network error. The same behavior can be reproduced on the Chatbox web version: Open the Chatbox web app. Go to Settings and configure DeepSeek with the same API key. Start a chat with a DeepSeek model and send a message. Observe the same network error. Expected Results The chat request should be sent to DeepSeek successfully and the model should return a normal response, just like when calling the DeepSeek API via Python with the same API key and base URL. Actual Results • The request in Chatbox (iOS app and web) fails immediately. • Error message shown: API Error: Error from DeepSeek: Error: Network Error: Load failed ( api.deepseek.com ) • No model response is returned. • This happens consistently on different networks and on different devices. Desktop (please complete the following information): • Operating System: N/A (issue is observed on iOS mobile app and web version). • Application Version: • iOS app: Chatbox v1.18.1 • Web app: latest version as of the date of this report Additional Context • iOS version: 17.5.1 • Tested networks: home Wi-Fi and mobile hotspot → the same error occurs on both. • Tested devices: • Original iPhone with Chatbox v1.18.1 • Another phone with a fresh install of Chatbox → same error • I have disabled/cleared any Network Proxy configuration inside Chatbox. • When I open https://api.deepseek.com directly in a browser on the same device/network, it responds (a binary file/response is returned), so DNS and basic connectivity to api.deepseek.com are working. • Using the same DeepSeek API key, a simple Python script calling the official DeepSeek API (e.g. https://api.deepseek.com/v1/chat/completions ) works correctly with no errors. • Therefore, the DeepSeek API itself and my API key appear to be working correctly, and the issue seems specific to the way Chatbox (iOS + web) is integrating with DeepSeek in this environment.
