yeah. atleast it didn’t for me on Ubuntu.
I have no idea what causes that connection error, in the devtools console it says something like “internal webkit error”, which isn’t really helpful, especially since doing the request manually in the devtools console works completely fine. Furthermore i was only able to reproduce this error on ubuntu, building on other distros was fine. It’s also not a cross-distro compatibility problem since the appimage built on ubuntu doesn’t work on that very same system either…
Since the initial reported problem is fixed i’m gonna close this issue and keep looking for solutions, but i spent so much time on that already i’m not really hopeful that there really is a (easy) solution so maybe i just have to implement flatpak support earlier than planned so we can promote that one as the main way to distrribute your app 🤷
