Here is a solution that works for me: var timeout; function preventPopup() { clearTimeout(timeout); timeout = null; window.removeEventListener(‘pagehide’, preventPopup); } function openApp() { $(‘<iframe />’) .attr(‘src’, appurl) .attr(‘style’, ‘display:none;’) .appendTo(‘body’); timeout = setTimeout(function() { document.location = appstore; }, 500); window.addEventListener(‘pagehide’, preventPopup); }
This is possible. Tested with iOS5 stand-alone web app: HTML: <div id=”foz” data-href=”http://www.google.fi”>Google</div> JavaScript: document.getElementById(“foz”).addEventListener(“click”, function(evt) { var a = document.createElement(‘a’); a.setAttribute(“href”, this.getAttribute(“data-href”)); a.setAttribute(“target”, “_blank”); var dispatch = document.createEvent(“HTMLEvents”); dispatch.initEvent(“click”, true, true); a.dispatchEvent(dispatch); }, false); Can be tested here: http://www.hakoniemi.net/labs/linkkitesti.html
By security reasons Instagram disables OAuth 2.0 implicit authentication flow (client-side authentication) by default. If your app hasn’t server side you should go to Manage Clients Security section and unset Disable implicit OAuth option. After saving all should work well.
Thanks to JDandChips for pointing me to the solution. It works perfectly in combination with the longclick plugin. For documentation sake I’ll post my own answer to show what I did. HTML: <script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://raw.github.com/pisi/Longclick/master/jquery.longclick-min.js”></script> <p><a href=”http://www.google.com/”>Longclick me!</a></p> The Javascript already was OK: function longClickHandler(e){ e.preventDefault(); $(“body”).append(“<p>You longclicked. Nice!</p>”); } $(“p a”).longclick(250, longClickHandler); The fix … Read more
onunload is responsible for executing an instruction when the page is closed. It also causes issue with IE and AJAX. onbeforeunload is more efficient because it does not run in competition with the actual closing of the window and is triggered before onunload I know Opera used to not acknowledge onbeforeunload – not sure if … Read more
EDIT: looks like this no longer works. Not shocking given how much iOS has changed in the last 7 years. I got this working by using a PNG instead of a JPG. Weird thing is, the JPG worked in iOS Safari locally (via a POW server on local wifi) but when pushed to staging the … Read more
A really simple approach could be to use a unique token in your Bookmark-URL which can serve you as a unique device identifier. Example: http://myWebApp.com/?token=randomId29238/1 The token can be generated at the server side at opening time of the application in Mobile Safari and before the user is prompted with the “Add to Home Screen” … Read more
This was a bug in iOS 8.0.0 and was fixed in 8.0.2. The file body is not included in the request payload, but Content-Length is set as if it is. See blog post File uploads appear to be broken in Safari on iOS 8.
No there is not. You can control the content of your webpage but not the behavior of the safari app.
If you are using Chrome in Android or any of the desktop OS, that would be the default behavior. Check on “Android intent filter” in this link. This feature is not supported in iOS yet for PWA apps(created using Safari- the only option for iOS as of June-2018).See “What PWAs can do on Android and … Read more
