CoE to HTTP Server cannot be exited (App gets stuck)

[hprHeini]

App Version: 2026.2.1 (2026.1766)
iOS Version: iOS 26.3
Device: iPhone 15 Pro

Describe the bug
After updating to App version 2026.2.1, a new sidebar entry called "CoE to HTTP Server" appears in the Home Assistant Companion App for iOS.
When tapping this entry in the iOS app, the view opens but there is no way to navigate back. The app appears stuck on that page. The normal sidebar navigation or back gestures do not return to the previous view.
The only way to exit is to restart the iphone.
It works fine on safari on macOS.

To Reproduce
Open Home Assistant iOS Companion App
Open the sidebar
Tap on "CoE to HTTP Server"
The view opens
Attempt to go back → Not possible
Expected behavior
The view should allow normal navigation (back button, swipe gesture, or sidebar selection of another page).
Actual behavior
The app remains stuck on that page. Navigation is no longer possible until the app is force-closed.
Additional context
The issue started after updating to 2026.2.1.
Restarting the app doesn't fix it.
Occurs consistently.

@hprHeini You have to open GitHub to attach your screenshots.

And if you wanna learn how to screen record:

From what I can see this is a custom integration and for some reason it hides the home assistant top bar that should give you access to the back button and sidebar menu.

For now what you can do is to swipe up using 3 fingers, this will give you access to companion app settings, then you find "Gestures" and configure a gesture to open the sidebar, by default it is the swipe right (did you try?)

Meanwhile I will transfer this issue to the frontend repo since the App is not in control of what is displayed in the web UI

Thanks, swiping worked. (... didn't know before...)
