For folks waiting for react-scripts for a patch:

For local testing over https, you can manually edit

node_modules/react-dev-utils/webpackHotDevClient.js

Here's the code you'll want at line 62 of that file:

protocol: window.location.protocol === 'https:' ? 'wss' : 'ws',

For deployment follow below steps:

npm install -g serve // This can be done locally too

npm run build

And Then in your package.json add a deploy script to work with serve:

"scripts": {
    "deploy": "serve -s build",
}

And then

npm deploy or yarn deploy

Hope this answer helps you get rid of the error.
