RESOLVED: CORS issue on ionic Mobile App ios

Problem:   I was working on a project in which I was developing an ionic application which needed to access a Website URL hosted on Azure App Service. The app was unable to connect and was throwing CORS issue. When I debugged using xcode, I found that the request is being made by the url capacitor://localhost and when I tried adding the same in Azure App Service, this was not allowed: After doing some research, I found the solution here: https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/preflight-response-is-not-successful-in-capacitor-ios-platform/168433/8 Solution: I used azure cli to add the cors url. For this: In case, you are not having azure cli, download it here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/install-azure-cli Run command: az login Run the following command to add url:  az webapp cors add --allowed-origins capacitor://localhost --name MyAppService --resource-group MyResourceGroup Happy Coding.
