Ionic ios9 issues

[awesomeionic]

hi,

My app is broken on ios9 only.
When the app is loaded, we just get a blank white screen.
it works without issue on ionic serve and android apk.

I’ve updated to ionic v1.1 and angular and dependencies have been updated too.

I went through this post

Preparing for iOS 9 - Ionic Blog

and have applied the patch angular-ios9-uiwebview.patch.js
and the App Transport Security patch via:

GitHub - leecrossley/cordova-plugin-transport-security: Cordova / PhoneGap...

(i don’t use radio buttons so took no action here)

i saw this post

iOS 9 Broke my app completely

My app was killed with the release of iOS9. When I now run emulation the app goes to the loading screen, but then after it finished loading it just sits there at a blank white screen. If I simply run ionic serve then everything shows up as expected. Are there any fixing coming out soon? I have no idea how to debug what is wrong since everything is running great during serve. This sucks…

and the first answer indicates that

And the white screen of death is mainly because of angular error

I don’t believe this to be an angular error because it only happens in ios9. (i.e. shouldn’t the same issue happen when running ionic serve or in the android apk?)

Does anyone know how i might be able to debug this further?

It likely is a JavaScript error occurring which is preventing the execution of your app. Enable USB Debugging, run your device on your phone and the bring up either the Safari debugging tools on your computer or use a program like GapDebug. Reload your application whilst the debugger is up so that you can see any errors that occurred right on startup (which is likely where it will be) and you should be able to see the error occurring in the console.

Once you’ve done that you should have more of an idea of what the problem is.

Edit: Oh and in response to “shouldn’t the same issue happen when running ionic serve or in the android apk” - no not necessarily, if the error is occurring due to a plugin missing then you could get a Javascript error on one platform and not the other, the browser that is running your application is different on iOS vs Android as well so different problems can occur.

Thanks for the reply.
Just a quick dumb question. Can I use GapDebug to debug ios devices on a windows computer?
Reading the docs it seems like i can as long as i have itunes installed, but wanted to ask before proceeding.

Thanks

[joshmorony]

Yeah you can, GapDebug was great for when I was working on Windows.

[awesomeionic]

Thanks. I was finally able to get an i-device and the this working.

There are several errors that occur but I have no idea how to proceed solving these. Does anyone have suggestions on what I should do next?

GitHub - leecrossley/cordova-plugin-transport-security: Cordova / PhoneGap Plugin to bypass the iOS 9 App Transport Security (NSAppTransportSecurity)

Hi, did you ever find out what the problem was with IOS9? I am having the same issue.
I skipped the patch, the flickering on IOS9 is annoying, but at least it works.

[awesomeionic]

Yes.
there are basically two errors there.
one is the Dom Exception 12
the other is the keyboard undefined

the keyboard one is easy, just need to update ionic keyboard and include in config.xml

the DOM Exception 12 is the most bullshit one. ultimately i figured it out from reading:
http://www.ekreative.com/blog/adapting-my-ionic-framework-hybrid-mobile-app-for-ios-9-problems-and-solutions/455-adapting-my-ionic-framework-hybrid-mobile-app-for-ios-9-problems-and-solutions

and

[solved] iOS9 fails with setRequestHeader [native] with custom headers in $http...

so i ended up changing the helper function i have to set the token to:

    if (token.length > 1)
        $http.defaults.headers.common.Authorization = 'Token ' + token;
    else
        $http.defaults.headers.common.Authorization = null;

and now is working.
