Select list does not work in iPhone landscape view

Tue Jun 16, 2015 12:33 pm

I have a pure-web app running on iPhone Safari. When I'm in landscape mode, my select list does not accept my choices - i.e. I tap an item and it does not get reflected. I'm sending the link and steps to reproduce to support.

UPDATE: The select list still does not work in a pure-web app running Safari on a iPhone 5 with OS 8.3 when in landscape mode (works fine in portrait). Note that Appery support has not been able to test this on their own device for confirmation (ticket 12104).

Hello Robert,

AS soon as we have news here we will let you know.

Alena, thank you. But with all due respect, its been 17 days with no word that you were or were not able to replicate this. Frankly, my client is really unhappy - and correctly so. Begging app users not to turn the phone is not an answer.

Are you able to enable Weinre, and test in either xCode or TestFlight? Perhaps there is a Javascript error on rotate that is preventing further functionality from working.

Thank you BananaGator. A while back I tried Weinre connected with my desktop - no errors were reported. I don't have xCode and have never used TestFight.

I would enable it, and test it however you are using it to view in landscape mode, then. I would assume if you are not using xCode or TestFlight, that you're using Appery.io Tester app, which is similar to TestFlight, but not an app installer.

I've tried the tester app, but cannot get it into landscape mode to test it. Other apps are easily put into landscape. I've tried to get tester into landscape from both the page giving me the problem as well as other pages - to no avail.

Then how do you know it doesn't work in landscape mode, then?

You can select the allowed app orientations within the Project > App Settings > iOS Binary tab, near the bottom.

For reference, Weinre will run in the browser, as well as any emulator or simulator. When I debug apps just for Javascript/HTML sake, I make a bit.ly shortcut to make typing in to phone browsers easier.
