Capacitor & Ionic

Capacitor and Ionic apps load the web view from capacitor://localhost (or ionic://localhost on older setups). In both cases the page’s hostname is literally localhost, even though this is a production app on someone’s phone rather than a dev server.

Enable the project’s “Allow local origins” toggle (dashboard → Settings) so ingest and the widget/SDK’s CORS layer accept it. The toggle covers localhost, 127.0.0.1, and *.localhost origins for the project.

<script src="https://cdn.analytics.canarycoders.es/lytics.js" data-domain="myapp.com" defer></script>

data-domain should still be your real production domain (or whatever value you want events grouped under). The toggle is about which Origin is trusted, not what domain the snippet reports.

This toggle is shared with dev

“Allow local origins” also governs plain localhost development traffic on this project (see Localhost & development). Turning it off to “clean up” dev noise will also silently stop ingestion from every Capacitor/Ionic install of this app. The two use cases share the same hostname and can’t be told apart at the Origin-check level.
