Regression of Blank screen on simulator sdk #46

Regression of this issue? #46

Seems that this issue is back with the latest version of IonicPortals.
Console log in xcode says: ⚡️ Loading app at capacitor://localhost but blank screen in Simulator, on local device it works fine.

Can you please provide a minimal repro, along with the version of Portals and Capacitor that are in your project? Local environment setup will be helpful as well, such as Xcode version, target iOS version, and the simulator OS version.

Sorry for the late answer, didn't get an email or notification.
Remember to update the Token for it to run.

I am using Xcode 14.2, macOS Ventura 13.4 (M1 Pro), running on iPad Air (5th generation) simulator (iOS 16.2)

Also in the lastest version of Capacitor 5.1, there seems to be an infinite loop loading the webview and capactiorBridge, because they both are lazily loading assetHandler, which tries to load the capacitorBridge, which tries to load the assetHandler and so on and so on and so on

Yeah you should downgrade to anything below 5.1. I patched the issue when I discovered it on Monday but a release hasn’t been cut for it yet.

Yeah, but 5.0 still doesnt work, blank white screen on simulator

The problem is highly likely with capacitor and this issue likely belongs over there. Today is a holiday in the US so no one is actually going to be looking into this until later this week if not next week. Being able to run on device is a feasible workaround in my opinion. Have you contacted your SDK vendor about providing native arm64 simulator support?

I ran this both with a patched Capacitor 5.1 (that fixes the lazy init) and with 5.0.5. Unable to reproduce with the project you provided. I noticed I was running Xcode 14.3.1 instead of 14.2. This issue does reproduce in Xcode 14.2, but not in 14.3.1. Try upgrading Xcode and see if you still have the same issue.

[steelzeh]

Alright i will give it a go

[Steven0351]

Hopefully this was resolved by upgrading Xcode. If it wasn't, this would specifically be a Capacitor issue and should be raised over there. There isn't anything I can do from the Portals side to fix this issue for you.
