Current Behavior

The addition of

CapacitorHttp: {
    enabled: true,

to capacitor.config.ts stops/blocks/makes fail Firebase from making firestore calls in my app. Removing the above config resumes normal behaviour

Expected Behavior

firebase should continue working as normal

Code Reproduction

I've a bunch of firestore calls which look something like the below in my app. They don't seem to work

LIVE_SESSIONS_LISTENER = sessionsQuery
    .where("status", "!=", SessionStatus.Terminated)
    .where("userId", "==", user.value.uid!)
    .onSnapshot((snapshot) => {
        populate(snapshot, "liveSessions") // For the table of sessions
        if (!snapshot.empty) {
            setSelected("session", {
                sessionId: snapshot.docs[0].id,
            })
        }
        sessionsForTable.value = getSessionsForTable(
            "user",
            userRef.id
        )
    })

Other Technical Details

npm --version output:

node --version output:

pod --version output (iOS issues only):

Additional Context

Lots of errors that looks something like this on both iOS and android:

I can see the "internet connection" suggestion in the error output there but that is not an issue.

I'd simply remove http but I believe I need it to get capacitor-community/background-geolocation working (to make http calls from the background)

I have the same issue, but with Supabase Auth...

This issue needs more information before it can be addressed. In particular, the reporter needs to provide a minimal sample app that demonstrates the issue. If no sample app is provided within 15 days, the issue will be closed. Please see the Contributing Guide for how to create a Sample App. Thanks! Ionitron 💙

An alternative here if you're not needing to proxy all of the requests (which if you're using something like firebase or supabase you probably don't want to proxy everything), is just to only use Capacitor HTTP directly for the specific requests instead of enabling the proxy and patching fetch/xmlhttprequest https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/http#example

It looks like this issue didn't get the information it needed, so I'll close it for now. If I made a mistake, sorry! I am just a bot.

Have a great day! Ionitron 💙
