App hiding iPhone status line (clock etc.)

[Maryna Brodina]

Hi, the problem seems to be in meta-tag apple-mobile-web-app-capable which is added to html file of app (here is more information). You can delete it on Source tab, but please note after you edit Source code changes won't be applied to the visual view. If you want to undo changes you need to delete edited (blue colored) files first, then click "Undo all source changes". More information here.

Hi Marina,

In understand, but clearly it's not a viable solution, as I am using Appery for UI dev all the time. I can't edit the source then undo, the edit, undo etc.
It should at best be determined by the developer (me), and the default should be false (not full screen). No apps hide the status bar by default.

We'll add an option to do that without editing Source files (most likely in November).

Hi Maryna,

Will this option be available in November as you had estimated?

Thanks, Benny

Hello! Sorry for a late reply. I'll check and let you know.

[Maryna Brodina]

Sorry, seems to be it won't be possible in November. I'll check what's the ETA and let you know.

Hmmmm I had hopes b/c it's really bothering my users.... and I thought it was a minor issue. I'll wait for your ETA then.

Hi Benny,

There is an Appery.io default meta tag:precode<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" &#47;>/code/preIt indicates that the page is opened as an application.

There is no official support for iOS 7 yet. We tested it with the values '​​yes' and 'no' on iOS 6 and iOS 7. On the iOS 6 application is always opened in Safari, but on the iOS 7 it's opened as iOS app by default, hence all the problems with the bar .

To display a bar properly replace the above line in html source with the following:
precode<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="no" &#47;>/code/preIn this case, Safari will open with the content of Appery.io application.

Katya,

This way (manually editing the html) I cannot use Appery GUI anymore for this page. This is unacceptable in the dev cycle. I want to be able to change the GUI whenever I wish w/o editing the html files.

Benny,

You can do this in the end of development.
We'll update when know ETA.
