Capacitor routes won't change when building iOS applicaiton

[jsloan]

When developing and testing my application using capacitor things work perfect, but when I use the build command I cannot get the application to change routes on the emulator or when pushed to TestFlight. Have I missed something? Has anyone else had this experience?

I am facing a similar problem on iOS with capacitor routing right now actually. I’m using router hash mode and on initial load the url is capacitor://localhost# instead of capacitor://localhost/#. So there is no trailing slash initially which breaks things. Sometimes when I navigate around this gets corrected. I tried setting PUBLIC_PATH=capacitor://localhost/ but it doesn’t seem to work.

Working on a fix now, but I think at least in my case it has to do with the trailing slash

@g_hult Thank you very much for this! I will see what I can be done about it, but perhaps I may have to delay my release. I will tinker with it now with this is mind and let you know if I uncover anything. Thanks again!

Please create a github issue for this.

@dobbel Done!

I made a workaround / hack for now on iOS with this line on my initial page.

created(){
  if(this.$q.platform.is.ios){
     this.window.location = "capacitor://localhost/#/"
  }
}

At least that solves the urgent issue for now and sets the trailing slash correctly to “/#/” for all subsequent navigations.
