location-changed event not fired in case of file:// protocol for mobile hybrid app.

Description

To check whether the href origin and current origin is same or not, URL constructor is being used.

URL constructor is behaving correctly for http:, but not for file: protocol

var url = new URL("http://google.com")
url.origin will be http://google.com

However when index.html is loaded from cordova hybrid app for following href
"file:///Users/kpraveen/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/8336AC80-5CE3-4E95-BEDE-34667F0F845D/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/AA8F812B-2B08-41D9-A11C-F0E82B3B6193/HelloWorld.app/www/elements/abcd"
url.origin will be "null"

Due to this, when following check is performed
origin will be "file://", and url.origin will be "null"
if (url.origin !== origin) {
return null;
}
it will be treated as different origin, although origin is same.
This causes app-location, app-route to fail.
Tested in ios simulator on mac.

Expected outcome

if current and linked url both are from file:// it should be treated as same origin always and location-changed event must be fired.

Actual outcome

if current and linked url both are from file:// it is treated as cross origin so location-changed event is not fired.

I used following code to fix it for me.

    if (url._scheme === 'file' && origin === 'file://') {
         ;
    }
    else if (url.origin !== origin) {
          return null;
    }
