utils.openPage() not working in Retool Mobile App

💬 Mobile

Goal: Navigate between pages in Retool using utils.openPage("debug").

Issue: utils.openPage("debug") is not working. calling this function does not navigate to the target page as expected.

Root Cause (suspected): Unknown. The function call appears to execute without error but the page navigation does not occur.

Steps Taken:

  • Called utils.openPage("debug") directly from a button's event handler.

  • Confirmed the page named "debug" exists in the app.

  • No error is thrown in the console, but the page does not change.

Environment: Retool Cloud

Hi, utils.openPage() should not work the way you expect in Retool Mobile.
For mobile, try using the navigator utility instead, e.g. navigator.navigateTo("debug"), since mobile navigation uses screens rather than standard app page navigation.
Here is the link to the docs

Let me know if it solves the issue and makes sense :slight_smile:

Oh, thank you, it worked.

I was not getting the autocomplete options like I get with the utils method, so I thought it would not work and I did not try out this method.
