The code reproduction doesn't seem to have an iOS cap app in it, will npx cap add ios exhibit this problem?

Cool, thanks for adding it.

The url is changed on purpose so it goes through Capacitor's WebViewAssetHandler. It's done for all non POST requests as it allows better interception of the requests.

In the provided sample app the request goes through and shows OK, so looks like it's working.
Can you provide another sample app where the request is not being sent? or better describe what the problem is?

@jcesarmobile I know it works fine on simulator, but not on real device (iPhone). Are you trying to reproduce with a real iPhone ?

[jcesarmobile]

Yes, tested on a real device (iPad) and it's working.

What's your iOS version?

[jkd2bleu]

iPhone X with iOS 16.7.8
