Request or proposed solution

Like audio and video files, PMTiles relies on HTTP 206 Partial Content HTTP responses (made with a range). See https://github.com/protomaps/PMTiles for the client-side library.

In a project I have been developing, I found that on the IOS platform I could not access bundled .pmtiles assets via range request (instead of partial content, full content was returned and triggered errors within the PMTiles client). I discovered after investigation that Capacitor IOS supports 206 responses for certain path extensions only and further that adding .pmtiles to the list of supported extensions resolves the problem and allows access to bundled large vector map tilesets in pmtiles format.

A PR accompanies this issue and passes this addition of the .pmtiles extension back upstream in case others have a requirement to use this mapping library.

Can you provide a sample Capacitor app that uses PMTiles library?

It looks like this issue didn't get the information it needed, so I'll close it for now. If I made a mistake, sorry! I am just a bot.

Have a great day!
