Unable to access local icon images for HTML app with Ionic

jittopjose

Hi,
I am trying to convert an ionic app to a ubports html app. So I copied all the items from ionic build directory (www) to the www directory of ubports app.
The app launches but the icons are not visible. In the console I got following errors:

Fetch API cannot load file:///home/jitto/ubports/ionicwebview/build/all/app/install/www/svg/chevron-forward.svg. URL scheme "file" is not supported.

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at file:///home/jitto/ubports/testionic/www/svg/business.svg. (Reason: CORS request not http).

I am getting the same error when I tried to run the index.html using chrome in desktop. I guess the browser is blocking local resources.

Is there any way to override this behaviour while packaging the html app as a ubports app?

Thanks,
Jitto

You can try adding --local-content-can-access-remote-urls to the Exec= line in your .desktop file, as an argument to webapp-container.

@dobey It does not seems to be working. I tried following 2 options

One:

Exec=webapp-container --allow-file-access-from-files --app-id="testionic.jitto" $@ www/index.html

Two:

Exec=webapp-container --local-content-can-access-remote-urls --app-id="testionic.jitto" $@ www/index.html

Both are not working. Same error ... :anxious_face_with_sweat:
