Code-server PWA hangs
See original GitHub issueOS/Web Information
- Web Browser: Safari
- Local OS: iPadOS 14.6
- Remote OS: Raspbian Buster
- Remote Architecture: arm64
code-server --version
: 3.10.2
Steps to Reproduce
- SSH from iPad to Raspberry Pi and forward port 8080
- On iPad, open PWA from app icon
- PWA initializes but does not load the browser content
Expected
I should see the editor page appear.
Actual
Blank white screen below the iPad status bar.
Logs
I ran code-server --log trace
, opened the PWA, and have attached the output.
Both the stderr and stdout logs were empty.
Screenshot

Notes
There is no problem loading code-server in the Safari browser directly. Deleting and reinstalling the PWA makes no difference. Rebooting the iPad works for the first session. Subsequent sessions have the same issue. I attempted to run code-server --link
to test but my connection latency exceeded the threshold.
This issue can be reproduced in VS Code: No

Refreshing the PWA with cmd+r fixes it for me as well. Finally!
I encountered the same problem on the same version iPadOS & ubuntu 18.04. Command-R works for me! Thanks a lot!
