bug: Setting iosScheme to http has no effect

[malua]

Bug Report

Capacitor Version

@capacitor/cli 1.3.0
@capacitor/ios 1.3.0
@capacitor/android 1.3.0
@capacitor/core 1.3.0

Affected Platform(s)

• Android
• iOS
• Electron
• Web

Current Behavior

Setting iosScheme in capacitor.config.json to http makes no difference. App is still being loaded from capacitor://
I already removed the ios platform completely and an re-added it, but that didn't work unfortunatley. Am I missing something? Do I need to set something in the plist file or anywhere else?

Expected Behavior

Setting iosScheme in capacitor.config.json to http should make capacitor load the app from http:// instead of capacitor://

npm --version output:
6.9.0
node --version output:
v12.13.0
pod --version output (iOS issues only):
1.7.5

Thank you for your help and awesome products!

oh, it's just working with custom protocols right? do you happen to know if ionic://localhost or capacitor://localhost are considered safe for something like stripe.js?

WKWebView doesn't allow to use http or http for serving local assets, this works as expected.

Not sure about stripe, sorry.

Hey, I am also looking in to this for Stripe.js, did you find a way to integrate Stripe with capacitor ios and android apps?

[malua]

we are still using cordova with cordova-plugin-ionic-webview@2.5.3
i dont think its possible to get Stripe.js working with custom protocols.

your best bet is to work with a plugin like this one and use the native stripe sdk

Hi @jcesarmobile! Could you explain why WKWebView doesn't allow to use http or https for serving local assets? I would like to know more about this but I don't know what/how to search it.

Thanks in advance

as far as i can tell, stripe.js now also sees file:// and ionic:// as safe origins!
in the stripe js file you can find this function:
key: "_ensureHTTPS", value: function () { var e = window.location.protocol, t = -1 !== ["https:", "file:", "ionic:"].indexOf(e),

I also test it right now, and it works if you serve your app from ionic:// on ios!

[mikeyyyzhao]

is there anyway to set the scheme to http? Google still does not recognize capacitor:// or ionic:// as safe origins in Authorized JavaScript origins for their auth unfortunately

[madmacc]

So @malua says that ionic:// works and @mikeyyyzhao says that it does not.
@malua Can you confirm it works?

I can see it in the code here if you search for the word ionic: https://js.stripe.com/v3/
["https:","file:","ionic:","httpsionic:","chrome-extension:","moz-extension:"]
Is there anywhere to view the code without it minimized?
I am just researching at this stage so can't test.

[malua]

I was talking about Stripe working, not about Google as mikeyyyzhao was.
I can definity confirm that stripe works on ionic://.

I have the ios on ionic:// and the android app on https://

@malua thanks for responding.
Apple Pay too? or just the other stripe functions?

[malua]

i have not tried that, but I guess you would not work. rather you would have to use this plugin https://github.com/capacitor-community/stripe and handle the payment in the native part

[madmacc]

Yeah it looks like it won't work with Ionic.
I got that capacitor plugin working today and it works.

The main issue is that you need to register a merchant id for the plugin (native) but not for the web version. I would prefer not to register a merchant id for every stripe connected account I am paying to. Having to set up a merchant id means I would have to release a new version of the app every time a customer joined my platform which is not feasible.
