Back navigation will reload the page about turbo-ios

[joemasilotti]

Can you reproduce this in the demo app?

If I just navigate into another page and then back again without interacting with the new page it doesn't happen, but if you interact with the page or do a page refresh it does seem to happen in the demo app too.

That’s expected behavior for a page refresh. Reloading tells the session to clear the cache, navigating back then requires a load from the server.

Can you expand on “interacting” with the page?

[breadluvr]

Initially, I thought that for a page reload to occur, an interaction like tapping on the page or scrolling needed to take place, but that does actually not seem to be the case with the 404 error native view in the demo. It triggers a page reload when navigating into the view and then back.(but only the first time) This is what we're also seeing in our app, but not only on native views but also in our web fragments.

Weird, I'm not seeing the page reload even when accessing the 404 error. Can you confirm you have no code changes on the demo server or app?

[breadluvr]

Indeed, no code changes.

Is it possible to upload your iOS code somewhere? I can't reproduce and if you are hitting the demo server then the Swift code is the only remaining variable.

[breadluvr]

I could share the Swift code – but all I did was to clone the repo and run the demo app with the default hosted test server. And I've made zero changes in the code.

[breadluvr]

I have resolved the problem in our app. The problem was on our end because we made an extra redirect on the first back navigation to inset a locale in the URL.

Gotcha, thanks for following up!
