Hi there,

Have you tried redeploying the app to see if it makes a difference?

Also is your app open-source? If so, can you share a link to your GitHub repository so I could try and reproduce the problem on my end?

Also, I could suggest this detailed step by step tutorial on how to deploy a React app on the DigitalOcean App Platform:

Best,
