Current Behavior

App fails to launch

Expected Behavior

App launches successfully

Other Technical Details

I ran the migration according to https://capacitorjs.com/docs/updating/4-0. Thought that outdated Cordova plugins could be the reason and therefore transitioned all but one to Capacitor plugins, the one remaining is https://github.com/randdusing/cordova-plugin-bluetoothle

npm --version output: 8.19.1

node --version output: 18.8.0

glad you figured out

willgardner9, can you create a new issue and provide a sample app where your issue can be reproduced? I’m closing this one since NunoSav solved their issue.
