--- Comment #4 from Niklas Merz <niklasmerz at apache.org> ---
Thank you for your comments. Having some option for dynamic app bound domains would be great.

This dynamic (first launch) domain should be added be added to the fixed lists of domains right? I am thinking about Cordova, Capacitor apps than use WKURLSchemeHandler to run their local page on a custom scheme like app://myapp and connect to one external server like https://mybackend.com. This would be typical use case for "hybrid apps".


If the dynamic domain gets set on first launch by the application, I think there are two things to consider for the use case in my mind.

1 .We have an enterprise app where users add the URL for their companies system during the initial setup. Setting the app-bound domain should be available via an API the app calls after the user has entered their setup information.

2. Most users will forever use this one server. Some users like developers, administrators etc. may need to reconfigure their app to use a different server like a testing instance of the backend. There should be a way to reset the dynamic app-bound domain like a system setting, prompt etc. Otherwise this would require such users to reinstall the app.

I hope this brings a perspective for uses cases of this feature.
