Spoofing HTTPS in dev on ios

[jayenashar]

I am using HTTPS in production as described here: #1478 (comment)
basically by setting server.url to https://$hostname/

I noticed that ios in development uses the capacitor protocol/scheme as described here: #758 (comment)

Can I test my HTTPS-dependent stuff in development on ios? Like, for geolocation, I polyfill navigator.geolocation to use capacitor's geolocation (if isPlatform(ios) && !isPlatform(mobileweb), but them i'm not really testing how it will be in production.

Capacitor always use capacitor protocol, in development and in production.
If you configure it to point to a https server it will also use it in development and in production.
If you want to test different things in development and in productions just use different https urls.

But pointing to a web server in production apps is not really recommended and can lead to app rejections.

I do use the plugin, but somehow that calls window.navigator.geolocation

See the source tree left, it's in capacitor.js code

If you don't use the plugins in the way the docs explain, then the plugins use the web version instead of the native version, and the web version uses navigator.geolocation.
Your screenshot only proves that you are using the plugin in the wrong way.

It seems adding app bound domain (to get service worker working) breaks it. I removed app bound domain and now it works 🤔

Ok, understood. Thanks. I'm using a create-react-app-based framework, so I should be able to start the dev server with HTTPS and then point capacitor to it. Thanks.
