We are using ionic 6.0 with capacitor 3.4.3 and everything works fine on web (even safari!) and android, but we are having issues with iOS (iPhone w/ ios 14.4.2) . ## Our setup We started by trying the example project, and it worked. We even migrated the demo project to capacitor 3.4.2 to make sure that it worked. Then we started the implementation following the guide: [https://docs.openvidu.io/en/stable/tutorials/openvidu-ionic-capacitor/](https://docs.openvidu.io/en/stable/tutorials/openvidu-ionic-capacitor/) Here we had our first issues: At one point the guide says to follow the “[ios-specific-requirements](https://docs.openvidu.io/en/stable/tutorials/openvidu-ionic/#ios-specific-requirements)” but this guide is written for cordova, not capacitor. This means that is not possible to use the provided [hook](https://github.com/OpenVidu/openvidu-tutorials/blob/master/openvidu-ionic/hooks/iosrtc-swift-support.js) that automatically set some configurations, so we had to do these steps manually as written here: [cordova-plugin-iosrtc/docs/Building.md at master · cordova-rtc/cordova-plugin-iosrtc · GitHub](https://github.com/cordova-rtc/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/blob/master/docs/Building.md#configuring-xcode-manually) Continuing with the guide we arrived at the step where we need to add “[src/assets/libs/adapter-4.0.1.js](https://github.com/OpenVidu/openvidu-tutorials/blob/master/openvidu-ionic/src/assets/libs/adapter-4.0.1.js)”. We added it, but we also noticed that in the example [it is not used!](https://github.com/OpenVidu/openvidu-tutorials/blob/master/openvidu-ionic-capacitor/src/app/app.component.ts#L55) (Actually we found [a commit](https://github.com/OpenVidu/openvidu-tutorials/commit/d6fbf4b5ca01d5c36b7b8e11025868d91b2845c3) that removed it in the example with cordova, but the application’s soruce code for capacitor is the same) For sure the documentation could be improved/written for capacitor. ## The issue: It seems that `this.session.publish(publisher)` never completes. We don’t get any error, even with iosrtc’s debug mode enabled (`cordova.plugins.iosrtc.debug.enable('*', true);`) We think that it might be some issue with the configuration of capacitor’s ios project because we had to guess some steps, but we are not sure. We even tried to see the differences between the files generated by capacitor form out project and the example project but we could not find anything obviously… These are the logs when we try to join a call: ```auto [Debug] Connecting websocket to URI: wss://videocall-dev.ourwebsite/openvidu?sessionId=k31O3x3e0R (src_app_modules_videocall_videocall_module_ts.js, line 13335) [Debug] WebSocket connected to wss://videocall-dev.ourwebsite/openvidu?sessionId=k31O3x3e0R (src_app_modules_videocall_videocall_module_ts.js, line 13335) [Debug] --------- ONCONNECTED ----------- (src_app_modules_videocall_videocall_module_ts.js, line 13335) [Debug] Starting ping (if configured) (src_app_modules_videocall_videocall_module_ts.js, line 13335) [Debug] Sending request: {method:"joinRoom", params: {"token":"wss://videocall-dev.ourwebsite?sessionId=k31O3x3e0R&token=tok_NAw66WfMyFaBrSGr","session":"k31O3x3e0R","platform":"Safari 11.x on Apple iPhone (iOS 14.4.2)","sdkVersion":"2.21.0","metadata":"{\"role\":\"PUBLISHER\",\"screenShare\":false,\"externalUser\":false,\"user\":{\"id\":2,\"login\":\"user\",\"firstName\":\"User primo\",\"lastName\":\"User\",\"email\":\"user@localhost\",\"imageUrl\":\"http://localhost:8080/static/13f49257-4916-4f9c-90f1-88958f8e49b7.jpeg\",\"activated\":true,\"langKey\":\"it\",\"createdBy\":\"system\",\"createdDate\":null,\"lastModifiedBy\":\"system\",\"lastModifiedDate\":\"2022-05-30T10:00:04.959487Z\",\"authorities\":[\"ROLE_USER\"],\"birthDate\":null,\"residenceCity\":null,\"organization\":null,\"department\":null,\"profession\":null,\"url\":null,\"competences\":null,\"shortBiography\":null}}","secret":"","recorder":false}} (src_app_modules_videocall_videocall_module_ts.js, line 13335) [Debug] Response: {"id":"con_YoFntyTyA5","finalUserId":"6681EB6E2EE3C82C","createdAt":1654780936742,"metadata":"{\"role\":\"PUBLISHER\",\"screenShare\":false,\"externalUser\":false,\"user\":{\"id\":2,\"login\":\"user\",\"firstName\":\"User primo\",\"lastName\":\"User\",\"email\":\"user@localhost\",\"imageUrl\":\"http://localhost:8080/static/13f49257-4916-4f9c-90f1-88958f8e49b7.jpeg\",\"activated\":true,\"langKey\":\"it\",\"createdBy\":\"system\",\"createdDate\":null,\"lastModifiedBy\":\"system\",\"lastModifiedDate\":\"2022-05-30T10:00:04.959487Z\",\"authorities\":[\"ROLE_USER\"],\"birthDate\":null,\"residenceCity\":null,\"organization\":null,\"department\":null,\"profession\":null,\"url\":null,\"competences\":null,\"shortBiography\":null}}%/%{\n \"userId\" : 2,\n \"externalNickname\" : null\n}","value":[],"session":"k31O3x3e0R","version":"2.20.0","mediaServer":"kurento","record":true,"role":"PUBLISHER","coturnIp":"40.68.222.82","turnUsername":"25CN8K","turnCredential":"ptz0lm","sessionId":"8run2lmn4qtpsu9mfuo8nv067p"} (src_app_modules_videocall_videocall_module_ts.js, line 13335) [Info] openvidu-server version: 2.20.0 (src_app_modules_videocall_videocall_module_ts.js, line 13347) [Error] openvidu-browser (2.21.0) and openvidu-server (2.20.0) versions are incompatible.
