Summary

As described i am setting up the experimental baseUrl in app.json. In my example its named rocket-meals. So as i start up the app and open the browser using npm run deploy:local which calls expo export -p web.

when i then route to http://localhost:3000/rocket-meals/ in my case it redirects me to the login page since it is called in (app)/_layout.js to return <Redirect href="/(auth)/login" />

The problem:

this works just fine as the url in the browser changes to http://localhost:3000/rocket-meals/login nice. But when i enter the url and hit enter to visit http://localhost:3000/rocket-meals/login it now redirects me to: http://localhost:3000/login but displays the correct conent. The problem is that this redirect seems wrong as it does not use the baseUrl Now it comes the the critical place as i enter the url again it well tells me that this page do not exist. Using the expo start --webbrings the problem that the baseUrl it ommited completly.

The second related problem

The next problem is: let url = createURL("/login"); creates me a link without the baseUrl at all.

The third related problem

Using: <ExternalLink href={url} style={styles.link}> somehow creates a link with the url of the app before but only in production mode and not in dev mode.

At first visit of the page:

When i hit enter at the url: http://localhost:3000/rocket-meals/login it redirects me wrong:
