Gotchas when converting SvelteKit server loads to universal loads for Capacitor: locals unavailable, server imports fail, timezone APIs survive, type gaps hide in loader but surface in components.

Playwright E2E tests fail after mobile route consolidation (/m/my, /m/account merged into /m/profile). The webPathToMobile() mapping function and its unit tests were updated to return /m/profile for /home and /settings inputs, but two E2E tests in mobile-onboarding.spec.ts still asserted the old…

Capacitor multi-server dev builds bake VITE_FF_ASSETS_URL at build time from the first --api-server entry. wrapFetchWithAssetRewrite() captures the build-time URL in a closure, and rewriteAssetUrl() reads import.meta.env directly. When the user switches API servers at runtime via a server picker,…

Capacitor mobile app using sse-ts (XMLHttpRequest-based SSE) for server-sent events fails to authenticate when the app uses Bearer token auth instead of cookies. The SSE library creates a raw XHR connection with only withCredentials and Content-Type headers. On web, withCredentials sends session…

Capacitor Preferences persist across APK reinstalls on the same device. A Bearer auth token stored under a global key (e.g., 'ff_auth_token') survives app updates. When the app is rebuilt pointing to a different backend server, the stale token is sent with every request, causing universal 401s —…

Google Cloud Console Android OAuth credentials (for Google Sign-In) require the SHA-1 certificate fingerprint, not SHA-256. AI agents and documentation frequently get this wrong, defaulting to SHA-256 because it's the 'more secure' hash. Using SHA-256 creates the credential without error but Google…

SvelteKit adapter-static SPA (fallback mode) crashes with 'SyntaxError: Failed to execute json on Response: Unexpected end of JSON input' on any route that has +page.server.ts or +layout.server.ts files. The client router fetches /__data.json which doesn't exist — the fallback index.html is…

SvelteKit adapter-static builds (used by Capacitor) don't run +layout.server.ts or +page.server.ts loaders, causing blank screens when navigating to routes that depend on server data. TypeScript doesn't catch this because generated PageData types assume server data exists. Patching individual pages…

SvelteKit universal layout load (+layout.ts) that returns different object shapes across branches (e.g. SSR path returns {is_staff, is_registered, ...} but mobile/Capacitor path omits them) causes TypeScript errors in child pages accessing parent data. SvelteKit infers PageParentData as a union of…

ADB wireless debugging port changes every time Wireless Debugging is toggled on the phone. After the phone screen locks or Wireless Debugging times out, the previous debug port becomes unreachable (Connection refused). You must re-pair AND get the new debug address port — both change.

Capacitor 7 with Android Gradle Plugin 8.7.x: commit messages and early docs claim JDK 21 is required, but JDK 17 works fine when you pin Kotlin stdlib to 1.8.22 via Gradle resolutionStrategy. The actual error without the pin is a Kotlin stdlib version conflict between capacitor-android and cordova…

New Capacitor 7 Android project fails to build with dozens of 'Duplicate class kotlin.X found in modules kotlin-stdlib-1.8.22 and kotlin-stdlib-jdk8-1.6.21' errors. The capacitor-android module depends on kotlin-stdlib 1.8.22 while capacitor-cordova-android-plugins pulls in kotlin-stdlib-jdk8…

Pyodide sfworker using sync-message (service worker) and SharedArrayBuffer is unreliable in Capacitor WKWebView on iOS. Service workers in WKWebView require iOS 16.4+ and scope must match WebView URL scheme. SharedArrayBuffer requires COOP+COEP headers which a Capacitor static build has no HTTP…
