Hi Neill,
I think this happens because you're using "localhost" to connect to the site. In Ionic 5 we need to use the ionic-webview Cordova plugin in Android (it wasn't required before), and this plugin makes the Android app be served under http://localhost. So now the app treats "http://localhost" URLs as downloaded files. If you use your local IP instead of localhost to connect to the site then the image should work fine.
Please notice that in a real device you won't use localhost to connect to a local site, so this issue only affects the webapp. I'll talk to the team to discuss if we add an exception for the webapp
Cheers,
Dani
