Recently my customers have been complaining that they have not been able to register on mobile devices.

I'f I run any create or update (including 'Register new user') from a mobile device (android or apple including XCode and Android simulators) the website is simply returned to 'Home'. If I then try any of the other

If i do the same action on Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox it works fine.

This appears to be a mobile browser issue.

Am I alone - has anyone else found this problem?

Dotnet core 7 MVC website with MSSQL db, hosting is on AWS, Linux, Ubuntu 20, Apache providing https, with the website running in http.

Code from register, but same issue on all other submitted forms (edit & create)

using WalkLogger.web.Models.AccountViewModels
@using AspNetCore.ReCaptcha
@model RegisterViewModel
@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "App Register";
    var key = ViewData["APIKey"];
}

<h2>@ViewData["Title"]</h2>

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-sm-12 col-xs-12 col-md-8 col-lg-6 col-xl-5 col-xxl-4">

    There is no issue with a form post from a mobile browser. It's probably your code. Just use the webkit remote debugger (web inspector) to see the network trace. For safari setting -> advanced -> web inspector.
