I have an Ionic app using @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark), when I build the ios version using capacitor, it does not respect dark mode. I have tried this node module, looked here, and here, but nothing seems to work. Why does Capacitor not respect dark mode on iOS?
What is should look like.

It's a bit of a tricky one because the framework docs for Dark Mode aren't very clear and actually incorrect in some places. There is also a known bug with the dark mode logic they have in place too.
Basically, you need to add the CSS yourself to your variables.scss file at a class level.
If you add directly below your @media settings:
ion-card {
--background: #141414;
}
That should change your card color. Apply the appropriate classes to each other element which isn't displaying in dark mode (i.e. your toolbar).

I used @Najam Us Saqibs answer and re3moved the media query for his CSS solution of just using classes. The second problem was that the xcode emulator doesnt read the CSS correctly, and was misrepresenting how the app would look, which i confirmed by deploying it.
