Capacitor Configuration

You need to set server.url in capacitor.config.ts to the env variable CAPACITOR_DEV_SERVER_URL.

const serverURL = env.CAPACITOR_DEV_SERVER_URL

const config: CapacitorConfig = {
  appId: 'com.example.app',
  appName: 'Example App',
  webDir: 'dist',
  server: serverURL
    ? {
        url: serverURL,
        cleartext: false,
      }
    : undefined,
}

export default config
