Describe Your Issue

In my Next.js + Tailwind CSS project, I have encountered an issue where some Tailwind classes work in one component but fail in another, specifically on Chrome (and other Chromium-based browsers) on Android 14.

• Observed Behavior:

The following class works correctly in one component but not in another:

<div className="font-semibold text-xl text-gray-800">{cardProps.total}</div>

• The same class applies correctly on desktop and Firefox mobile, but not on Chrome for Android 14.

• No errors appear in the console, but styles fail to apply.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a Tailwind-powered webpage on Chrome for Android 14

2. Compare the rendering of the following component:

<React.Fragment>
   <div className="flex justify-center items-center gap-2 sm:m-4 flex-col sm:w-96 w-64 sm:p-6 p-3 m-0 bg-white border border-gray-200 rounded-lg shadow">
     <div className="mb-2 text-2xl font-bold tracking-tight text-gray-800">
       <span>{cardProps.heading}</span>
     </div>
     <div className="font-semibold text-xl text-gray-800">
       <span>{cardProps.total}</span>
     </div>
   </div>
 </React.Fragment>

4. Observe that one card applies styles correctly, while another does not display font-semibold text-xl text-gray-800 correctly.

5. Test the same page in Firefox for Android or desktop Chrome → styles apply correctly.

Seems Chrome on Andriod still with lower version, mine is v88, which dosen't support CSS @layer at-rule.

Instead of @import 'tailwindcss'; line with:

@import 'tailwindcss/theme.css';                                                                                                                                                                                                                
@import 'tailwindcss/preflight.css';                                                                                                                                                                                                            
@import 'tailwindcss/utilities.css'; 

which not using 'layer' might works, not fully.

I am waiting better solution for now too.

I don't know if it's related but, hover States are not working too in Google Chrome 133 and Microsoft Edge 133
