POST Data is not passing (iOS)

[areanet-schmid]

I'm trying to do a simple post request on iOS.

const options = {
      url: SERVER_URL,
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json'  },
      data: { foo: 'bar', cool: true },
    };

Http.post(options);

SERVER_URL is a simple PHP script with:
var_dump($_POST);

POST data is not sending - see console log:

Environment:

• Ionic CLI 6.19.0
• Capacitor CLI 3.4.3
• @ionic/angular 6.0.14
• @capacitor/ios 3.4.3
• @capacitor-community/http 1.4.1

@areanet-schmid are you only experiencing this on certain versions of iOS? I am testing a new app and users with iOS v14 are reporting issues that seem related.

I ended up using axios until I find a permanent solutions. Works well on both iOS and Android

I fixed this by setting the 'Content-Type' header to my request as reading the ios plugging relies in the content type to parse the body data.

See:

http/ios/Plugin/CapacitorUrlRequest.swift

Line 46 in a9103fe

func getRequestData(_ body: [String: Any], _ contentType: String) throws -> Data? {

maybe we could specify that on the documentation

EDIT:
tested on IOS only

yeah the problem is known and I think pull requests were sent but there is absolutely no review by the maintainers. Create a http service with all requests inside and use axios, if one day capacitor http is finally working properly, you can add it by simply changing the http service and you won't have to change every requests in your app.
