Cordova iOS and iOS 8
iOS 8 was just released – and Cordova supports it fully, but it is still using the existing UIWebView iOS browser component (more on the new iOS 8 WKWebView later).
The main issues were in the core plugins, which have since been updated in the Cordova Plugin Registry. Update your plugins by removing and re-adding them.
If you use any of these plugins below, you will need to update these plugins and re-release your app for iOS 8, since your existing app built pre-iOS 8 may be broken in iOS 8 without these fixes.
These plugins have been updated for iOS 8:
1. Camera
2. Geolocation
3. StatusBar
4. Contacts
Camera
This plugin had a fix to use the new Geolocation permissions in iOS 8. Users are now prompted whenever you require a geolocation – this is for the JPEG format EXIF data. The plugin has a new preference as well, called CameraUsesGeolocation which defaults to false. Previously you had no control over this, it was always true.
Geolocation
This plugin had a fix to use the new Geolocation permissions in iOS 8. Users are now prompted whenever you require a geolocation.
Contacts
This plugin had a fix for pickContact — iOS 8 has added new delegate functions to handle people picking, without the fix this feature was broken in iOS 8.
StatusBar
Landscape mode for the StatusBar plugin was broken in iOS 8, and the updated plugin fixes it. This is because on iOS 8, screen size is now orientation dependent — previously it was based off portrait mode. The StatusBarBackgroundColor preference is now omitted as well when you install the plugin, leaving it effectively transparent (was #000000 or black). You will have to now set it explicitly.
CDV_IsIPhone5 macro
For whatever reason you are using this, realize that it is broken currently (same reason as the StatusBar landscape fix). If your plugin is not using this macro, don’t worry about it. It has already been fixed for 3.7.0.
JavaScript
If you are using the Web Inspector, you might see “deprecated attempt to access property” errors that are harmless. It has already been fixed for 3.7.0.
WKWebView
We tried.
Unfortunately there is a serious bug in WKWebView where it can’t load file:// urls, so it has hampered our efforts. This functionality was working in iOS 8 betas 1 to 3 on the device (it always works in the iOS 8 Simulator), but broken after that. I’m not sure what the ETA for the bug fix is, but it is in Apple’s radar (literally!).
In the meantime, we have some ideas, like running a local webserver to load the local assets. More info and discussion here.
For all the issues related to Cordova iOS and iOS 8, including our work in getting WKWebView support, check out this task list.

Hi, there’s a copy/past in the “Camera” section (it talks about geolocation).

That is correct – there is geo in the plugin to get the EXIF data for JPEG images.

Are you sure? We’re using Cordova 2.8 and app still is working pretty nice. Yes, there are several problems but I don’t see why it shouldn’t work on 2.8 and 2.9.
About our problems:
1. App periodically crashes when it’s launching. But as I see, it’s common problem for iOS 8.
2. XCode 6 is crap right now. It shows “Could not inspect the application package” message constantly.
3. I don’t know why but XCode 6 right now changes application Id on every setting up (it changes sandbox pathes for documents directory but we dependent on it).

Thanks Shazron! Can you point me in the right direction to update my app so it supports the new iPhone 6 and 6 plus screen sizes? Right now the app just auto-scales. My app is fully responsive so is it just a matter of including new splash screen sizes in the config file? I’m using Phonegap Build. Thanks!

Hey Shazron,
The iOS 8.0.2 update did not fix file upload (input type=file) within inappbrowser. Trying to use the camera or select files still crashes our app.
My guess is that Apple fixed UIWKWebView (because input type=file now works in Mobile Safari), but not UIWebVew.
Do you have any words of wisdom?
Our app is currently using Cordova 3.3
Thank You
Paul Martinelli
September 26, 2014 at 6:35 pm
Hi Shazron,
I am facing the same trouble as Paul describes, even after updating to iOS 8.1 (iPad). I have an app built with Cordova 3.4, using the inappbrowser. In the HTML I use an input type=file component but as soon as I try to use the camera (or select from library) the app crashes.
I would have hoped and actually assumed that Apple would fix this in iOS 8.1, but they didn’t. I could not yet find any soulmates having the same issue with iOS 8.1
Is this even on Apple’s radar?
Thanks in advance

Could you explain more about the fix to use the new Geolocation permissions in iOS 8? What problem would happen without the fix? I’m wondering if similar plugins that use the camera (such as my LastPhotoTaken plugin, or the cordova-imagePicker for choosing multiple images) will still work without this fix.
jonathanaquino
October 6, 2014 at 5:49 pm
The old camera plugin will always ask for geo permission for jpgs when taking new pics (new plugin has this turned off by default). If not updated, it will silently fail for new jpgs and you won’t get the pic.

October 6, 2014 at 7:06 pm
I’m seeing some performance issues running on iOS 8 with Cordova 3.6. It seems like exec() calls only happen once every second. Running the same code but with iOS 7 the exec() calls do not see this delay. The performance difference is night and day,
I’ve tested this on a real devices and using the simulator. Both of them are showing the exact same issue with exec() calls only happening once a second.
Is there something stupid I missed or is there is there a real issue here?
Daniel
October 7, 2014 at 2:52 pm
Replying to myself here.
The reason for why exec-calls (and other Javascript code) was executing so slowly was because they occurred in a UIWebView in the background. My application is managed by UINavigationController and once I push a new ViewController onto my Navigation Controller the old UIWebView seem to run Javascript much slower than if it had been in front. This does not happen on iOS 7. Making sure the JS is run from a UIWebView in the active ViewController has made the appplication much faster.
Daniel

Hi, for anyone else hit with the file:// bug, I wanted to share a work-around. My issue was that the Media class wasn’t playing local files in ios8 anymore. After overthinking the problem, I was able to work around the issue by referencing the Documents folder in the CDVSound.m class directly rather than looking up the file in in my JS project. So I’m creating the full path on the obj-C side rather than in JS. You can see the diff here: https://github.com/shi11/cordova-plugin-media/commit/ee7c99181d276c63eb74c2ac2cafaee6beb4a25e#diff-ad497960df55b8e4d523d5114642d980

Hi Shazron,
Under https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7539, you wrote:
“Update, the file url loading bug is fixed! See: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/174029/trunk
It appears the bug was a result of their updated sandboxing.
However, I tested it in iOS 8.1 beta and the new API function is not there yet sad-face. Hopefully it will be in 8.2 or 8.3. We should get the WKWebView train running again once that API function is in, assuming it works as advertised.”
Is there any possibility that Apple included this fix into the 8.1 that is supposed to be released today? Any ideas as to how we can confirm/deny without waiting for the 8.1 to be made available?

Hi Shazron, do you have any suggestions for a temporary fix to this? Our app is dependant on IndexedDB and UIWebView doesn’t support IndexedDB (in ios8), but WKWebView does. Would rather not have to swap out IndexedDB with another solution.

tetontech
October 31, 2014 at 6:51 pm
I don’t think it’s “simpler” (yes I read your post). In any case, Apple already fixed this by adding a loadFileUrl function for WKWebView (coming soon). That’s simple.
Adding a local web server is simple as adding a plugin (already done), and modifying one tag.
shazron
October 31, 2014 at 6:57 pm
I think a local webserver plugin is going to be fantastic. I’m working on a project where being able to create virtual paths to load items from core data is essential and this seems to be very interesting for stuff like that.

Sorry if that was a dumb question – the docs of 0.3.2 seem to suggest the fixes are in there. Its just that ‘CameraUsesGeolocation’ preference doesnt seem to do a thing on my ios8 tester devices (running phonegap, iow org.apache.cordova.camera vs 0.3.2). Where exactly does that preference go ?

Ah – that wasnt obvious. In order to have the camera use geolocation on ios8, you need to have the geolocation plugin installed, too. Well, it sounds very obvious 🙂 But that wasn’t required in ios7.

Hi Shazron, Thanks for the article. Strangely, I am able to load file:// URLs just fine on iOS 8, but I can no longer access the value stored in document.referrer. Is this related?

That’s impossible, are you using WKWebView and not loading from tmp? It’s a known verified bug, confirmed by Apple. Try my sample app. Not sure what’s going on with your document.referrer.

Hi Shazron,
I have two problem when i am trying to run my app in iso8,
First is the app crashes many time at startup. I am unable to find reason why it is crashing.
Second is I have used Device plugin for getting device uuid. App sometime gives window.device.uuid as undefined and some times it gives an object with device uuid info. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the device plugin, but it is still inconsistent in getting device uuid.
My cordova version is 4.2.0 and phonegap version is 4.2.0-0.26.0.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Pravesh

This is not an issue tracker. This is more suited for Stack Overflow, or the PhoneGap Google Groups. If you can reproduced this in a new fresh project, file an issue at http://issues.cordova.io

Ohk Thanks for your suggestion!
I just want to know that is the cordova device plugin still works perfectly with iOS8 or it has any limitation in IOS8.
