bug: Screen remains black after closing/opening app

[reinventit]

Plugin version:
4.2.1

Platform(s):
iOS (at least 16.4)

Current behavior:
When closing the app and re-opening, the screen remains black.

Expected behavior:
App should be renderend again

Steps to reproduce:
Open app, close app and re-open again

Related code:
It seems to be caused by the way modalPresentationStyle of the privacyViewController. It is currently set to 'overFullScreen' and this causes the underlaying view to be unloaded. If we change this to 'fullScreen' everything seems to be working.

Not working for me:

privacyViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.overFullScreen

Working correctly for me:

privacyViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.fullScreen

Hi, unfortunately I cannot reproduce your issue, see:

This seems to be different for iPhone / iPad.

Indeed everything works fine on the iPhone, but when I try the same with the iPad simulator the problem exists. Can you try and see if you can reproduce the issue when simulating an iPad?

Thanks, i can reproduce this issue with iPadOS 16.4.

Hi,

maybe I am facing the same issue on MacOS. With Plugin Version >= 4.0.0 an Capacitor 5, I am not able to use the App on MacOS anymore. The App opens correctly at startup, but with the first click anywhere, the App becomes black.

Can you reproduce this as well?
