Issue

We have an app that uses the Quasar platform with Capacitor. Whenever the Android app is put into the background and then brought to the foreground again it is restarted?

• This is not a problem when using Capacitor 2
• I’m using android:launchMode=“singleTask” in the AndroidManifest.xml
• The iOS app is not restarted
• It restarts on a real Android device or emulator

Here are the logs I’m seeing…

D/Capacitor: App paused
D/AAudio: AAudioStream_requestStop(s#1) called
D/AAudioStream: setState(s#1) from 4 to 9
D/AudioTrack: stop(274): called with 348296 frames delivered

Any help would be greatly appreciated!</div>

@jcesarmobile I found out that the jcesarmobile/ssl-skip Capacitor plugin for skipping ssl checks is causing this behavior . Any chance it can be updated not to reload the page when coming back from the background 😃 ?
