Issue with PWA on iOS 113

I have a PWA that I've been using perfectly till I updated my phone to 11.3 (introduce Service Workers supports, so in my iPhone it was only a bookmark) and all worked like a charm.
After I've updated to iOS 11.3 I wasn't able to enter to my app because I have an external login (in other domain) so each time I try to open my open this will open a safari browser to make the auth. Before PWA in iOS the external URLs were open in the same open (without open safari). Do you know if this is the correct behavior and, if it is ok, how can I fix it?
Thanks!
I managed to fix this by removing the manifest meta tag:
<link rel="manifest" href="/tracker/site.webmanifest">
My project is a simple PWA that uses Google's OAuth for login. I was getting redirected to Safari to login and unable to go back to the app (on my home screen). Hope it works for you too, I wasted 2 days trying to find a solution.
The reply by Anand tells me that offline capable PWAs need to implement service workers, since they are supported in 11.3 (or 11.4, not sure) and NOT manifests.
Anyways, this worked for me, hope it helps others as well.
When PWAs without service works(either your browser don't support it or your app don't have one) are added to home screen, its mere a bookmark. When the browser finds a SW, then it creates a package(like apk).
How to test this - Find a PWA site without service worker in android and add to home screen. When I tried it in one of Samsung device, it showed only "Remove" option and no uninstall option. When I added a PWA which had SW, got uninstall option. I was also able to locate the apk generated by Chrome when service worker is present.
Now on iOS - 3 possibilities I could think of.
1) My theory based on above behavior on PWAs with and without Service worker, your home icon create by iOS 11.2.x is a bookmark and the new version of safari is treating it as a bookmark to open it in browser. I couldn't test this as I've upgraded to 11.3 already and don't have a pre 11.3 PWA icon.
2) If you have reinstalled the icon(by removing and adding again to home screen) and still have the issue, its probably because your manifest file or service worker files have some issue/compatibility with Safari.
Since we don't have something like Lighthouse for safari, you can validate your manifest.json and service workers in Chrome Lighthouse.
3) Check on scope attribute in the manifest file to make sure you cover your entire domain you intent to cover. If you scope covers domain.com/myapp only, domain.com/otherapp will be opened in the browser when tried to open from any source.
It seems that with the last iOS version 11.4 this issue is solved, I think that now safari shares the context between the browser and the PWA and for example from PWA cookies can be accessed throw safari.
But I think there's still an issue when you open the PWA and you are being redirect to login (safari opens) once you're log in you stay in the browser (iOS does not return to the PWA, but this is a first step)

iPad Safari Web Inspector crashing on page load

I have a video focused website made in wordpress. When we go to test the website on iPad we connect it to a mac laptop and open the safari developer tools to check if we have any errors and whatnot. Everything works on our homepage but when we go to any video post we have added, it crashes the developer tools window, and the browser on the iPad has a little drop down at the top saying "A problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded".
The page is fine on the iPad, there aren't any PHP errors in our logs, everything works fine functionally, so I can't figure out what is crashing it.
Any ideas? Any way I can troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance :) And let me know if you need any more information!
I had this exact problem and solved it by updating both OSX Safari and the iPad to the latest versions. Now i can use the Web Inspector again.

Ionic v2 app iOS

I'm having trouble with my app when I build it using ionic emulate ios. My loading page is always running (so the index.html) without charging my app. Yet it perfectly works with Chrome Developper Tools.
Does someone know why ?
Thanks by advance !
From the description of your problem, somewhere in the app.ts file you've enabled on launch a loading function but without any explicit duration or was set too long.
If you are using any Cordova Plugins, some bugs won't appear on the Chrome Developer since native functions are not tested so when you use an emulator native bugs become apparent. Try disabling or removing select cordova plugins to determine the root cause.

Polymer website not opening on ios Safari or Chrome

The website I've been creating on http://chrisgiffy.github.com won't open on iOS with either Chrome or Safari
I'm not able to find out what the issue is. All I get in return is a blank page.
Can someone help me on this or show me how to debug on the device?
On IOS 9.3.2 I have discovered that Polymer paper-fab.. has an affect on rendering the page.
If you are using that component, then try removing it (hoping someone can fork a new version.)

How to forcefully load desktop site in iFrame in Cordova App?

I want to forcefully load the Desktop View of any website in Cordova App for iPad. I am trying to loading in both iframe and InappBrowser.
By changing User Agent; I tried several methods to change User Agent but no luck. Any idea on this please? If we change user agent will the Apple reject the app while submitting for App Store?
I saw the option in Safari in iPad for 'request desktop site'. Can we do it programmatically in Cordova? or any option in iFrame for this?
Normally the website is redirecting from the Desktop url to mobile site url. So disable redirection is a solution? If so is there any option for that?
Change the iFrame size to pc desktop size and scale to reduce; I tried this but mostly not working.
or is there any other solution.
Thanks
It was working fine before version 4.0.0 of cordova-ios (Different from cordova version).
To be able to do that again a quick fix can be to remove the ios folder created by the new version and adding the old one:
cordova platform rm ios
cordova platform add ios#3
Hope it helps
