Problem: setInterval working well in preview but not in safari

[Ram]

thx for that info.

i will try it but I'm a bit confused now, as this app intended to work as a web application without any installation, and its working well in the "mobile preview" why do i need to test it as an IPA?

That's a good point. You should look into what JavaScript routines work in Safari. Unfortunately, JS can be touchy depending on the targeted browser and its version.

[Ram]

so your guess is that there's some JS that is working well in the pc browser but not in the safari mobile ? if so, is there some kind of "firebug" that i can can debug this for the safari mobile? or any other way?

@Garrett

you are right! i tested it on my lumia 920 (windows phone) and its working well there, so the problem is somewhere within the safari mobile...

It appears that your specific issue is known and unresolved...

I just tested setInterval (http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_setinterval) on iOS 7 browser and it seems to work for me. If your webapp is online, you can send me the link and I can test it too.

Ram, tested in Safari 6.1.3, works fine.
