I’m encountering a frustrating issue while deploying my frontend on mainnet. When I deploy the application locally, everything works perfectly, and I’m able to interact with all features. However, when I deploy it on the mainnet, the following problems occur: I tried to reinstall the canister but the frontend behaves unexpectedly. For example, when I press the “Connect to Wallet” button, it redirects to the **local Internet Identity (II)** instead of the mainnet version. **Has anyone faced a similar issue or knows how to resolve this?** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/dfn/original/3X/6/6/6629793ec00267e0819e5df1a55517b360055b95.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/dfn/original/3X/b/1/b104fe57b01c217ec431e75a0ed681536834f549.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/dfn/original/3X/e/0/e02d8a57ce3f54c9cb1942af946296d9c2f6c278.png) ---

Same bug is discussed here: > [@Deploying (the icp ledger canister) to production](https://forum.dfinity.org/t/deploying-the-icp-ledger-canister-to-production/33133/5): > > Looks like a bug that I ran into recently as well. [This](https://github.com/sesi200/fortune-wheel/blob/main/scripts/download-idl.sh) is the workaround I came up with. You need to adjust the for loop at the bottom with your canister names. If you run this before dfx deploy --ic it should work. Note to self: [internal ticket](https://dfinity.atlassian.net/browse/SDKTG-357) No updates on a fix so far… ---

Is it still complaining that dfx generate fails or is there a different error? ---

in the prebuild step, for remote canisters dfx should download the canister’s candid file and put it in the place where the error says it’s not found. For some reason this doesn’t happen for remote canisters. The script I linked you to didn’t do that right in this case. If you ask an LLM to fix it for you together with the error it may be able to fix it for you ---

Can you share the part of the code where you call the `login` method on the auth client?
