Current Behavior

I am currently working on an AI APP which invokes LLMs from web directly. To bypass CORS restriction, I use CapacitorHttp. The CapacitorHttp seems blocks all stream response before they finish. I have reproduced this problem in a minimum program.

Expected Behavior

The stream response should be returned chunk by chunk

Yes, it does (at least on the web). It's apparently a limitation on mobile platform: Note: On Android and iOS, data can only be a string or a JSON.. Is that true? Or, it's due to the difficulty to stream data from javascript to the native code?
