Hi Katya,

There is never really an end to development.....
I'll have to wait for ETA. Would appreciate if you could give it a high priority.

Thanks, Benny

Hello! Sorry, there seems to be misunderstanding...
By default when you open app from home screen Appery.io app is opened in web view as a web mobile app without navigation bar/buttons like this

To open it in Safari browser like this

you have to set meta tag to "No" in source code (unfortunately default value can't be changed in iOS app template on our side). You have to do this because problem seems to appear on iOS side after the last update (please take a look here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19...). It's not reproducible with some other apps because they don't have this tag in their template.

Thanks Maryna,

I do understand, and thanks for the further explanation.

I'm simply asking for an ETA re your comment (above in this thread) that you'll add an option to assign this meta tag value yes/no w/o editing the source code, possibly in November.

I get information from developers team that it's not planned unfortnately. I'm sorry for misunderstanding and confusing.

Oh, this is sad. Does that mean will not be developed, or not in near release?
If I later wrap my app with PhoneGap and install thru AppStore, will this be irrelevant? i.e. will the phone status bar appear like any other app w/o changing the meta tag value to "no"?

That means it won't be developed at all. When you compile and install app on device there shouldn't be such problem. This tag affects only web apps. I can double check by installing app on iOS7 device, but it might take some time.

Ok. I would appreciate it if you could check it on iOS7 that behavior is as expected. I'm sure not the only one who would be concerned about it.

Sure, I'll let you know.

Hello! Here is how app looks like after installing on iPhone4 (iOS7)

Hi,

Is this a mobile app (Cordova), or web app?

I further read about it and learned that it's an issue indeed. Here is a relevant short article from Christophe Coenraets: PhoneGap and Cordova with iOS 7
