Current Behavior

I noticed, that the native http patching does not work on iOS devices when running the app on a real device and using the --livereload flag. I receive cors errors when using livereload. But when I make a normal production built, it works without problems and I don't receive cors errors. This bug seems not to happen on android.

The main problem is, that my app (like the most apps) makes some http requests at initialization. Due to the CORS errors that occur immediately, it is not possible for me to continue developing my app with livereload. The splash screen won't disappear. This significantly impairs the DX. It seems like this bug exists for several months now and is also present on Capacitor 6.

I am using the following command to run the project: ionic capacitor run ios --livereload --external

Expected Behavior

HTTP patching in combination with livereload should work on iOS like it does on Android.
