Issue with domain mapping - causing CORS issue when theme uses modules

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client was experiencing a CORS error because WPML did not update the URL returned by

plugins_url()

. This issue occurred when trying to load JavaScript files across different mapped domains, resulting in files being loaded from an incorrect domain.
Solution:
The client resolved the CORS error by resetting WPML and re-entering the domains, which corrected the URL mapping for JavaScript files. If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend trying the same steps: reset WPML and ensure your domains are correctly entered.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Benjamin Bornschein	Background of the issue: The selected domain is the main domain, the domain hidden link is mapped to english. We are using the default theme "Twenty Twenty-Four", which uses JavaScript modules instead of regular JavaScript files. WPML does not change the URL of `plugins_url` (https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/plugins_url/) which results in trying to load JavaScript files from hidden link while being on hidden link which causes a CORS error. Symptoms: This results in a CORS error. In the Developer Tools > Network the `view.min.js` from should be loaded via hidden link. Instead, it is loaded via hidden link causing the issue. Questions: Why does WPML not update the URL returned by plugins_url? How can I resolve the CORS error caused by the incorrect URL?
