Telescope app not mobile responsive via the custom URL

Question

I built a site to try out Telescope/meteor and deployed it with Heroku using a custom domain from Godaddy --->

ISSUE : When viewing the site iOS :

Good > responsive mobile version appears via the default Heroku url: unfair.herokuapp.com Bad > mobile version does not appear via the custom url: www.un-fair.net (desktop 'full site' shows up)

I updated the 'ROOT_URL' in Heroku settings and switched it from the default URL to the custom URL but didn't fix the issue.

Any suggestions ?

Heroku support claims it is not an issue on their end.

Answer 1

The only reason I can think of is an issue with your redirection. For example, if you're redirecting via an iFrame instead of setting the DNS, the iFrame hosted by GoDaddy might not have the proper meta tags required to enable the responsive version on mobile.

Answer 2

It's definitely possible to do, as mine is displaying all right via my Godaddy custom domain.

When setting up my custom domain with my Telescope app on Heroku, I needed to change the DNS settings via Godaddy. You'll need to add (or update if it's already there) a CNAME record where "Host" is "www" so that "Points To" is "unfair.herokuapp.com".
