I want to replicate a scenario where user's will be able to view the PDF files onto the blackberry browser(in the absence of any PDF viewer). Some of the users on our production site are not able to view pdf inside the browser. They are receiving an error "unknown media type:application/pdf", while in case of some pdf's its working fine.
I was not able to replicate the above mentioned scenario using an MDS alone, as it never rendered the pdf inside the browser.
Anyone has a better solution to test such scenarios or if you could list down the steps to connect a Blackberry Simulator to BES where I could test this?

I am using the webview component to render a webpage in my mini program. In the simulator, the component works as expected, however, when I test it on my android app, I get the error shown in the image.
Please check to see if you have whitelisted the URL that you are trying to access in your mini program’s configuration section on your workspace. Please also note that the simulator supports displaying a webpage hosted locally, however, when you want to test on device, you need to host your site online.
I have a weird situation, I am developing a site I can see all of the images well on my mac as well as an android phone but on my iPhone and my friends mac, and iPad it is not displaying the images when using safari. Is there something I need to add to the files for this to display properly all through out?
Thanks all feedback welcomes
It appears these assets are linked using https but there is not a valid SSL on the site. So on the devices where it works you have either authorized the SSL or bypassed it, but the other devices have not.
If you open up the Developer Tools in Chrome and view the console you can see the assets with issues along with the error message... "Failed to load resource: net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE"
Just in case someone else has the same problem. For me the problem was that a plugin "Ewww image optimizer" converted images to webP, these were then cached and served by cloudflare and wouldn't load in safari
We've just been developing an update for our iOS application where we need to open up a web view and display a web page hosted on a 3rd party site. This has worked locally when building directly to a device using xCode, the application works as expected; the web page loads and we can interact with it as expected. However, if we build the application and deploy to test flight, on the same device the webview functionality no longer works. Everything else works as expected but when the webview opens it just stays blank - the web page doesn't load/display. It's the same device, the same code base and same 3rd party link, so the only difference is the provisioning profile we're using (dev vs ad-hoc). Looking in application services I can't see any thing that looks like we should be setting (in fact our dev/ad-hoc provisioning profiles have the same settings). We are looking to see if there is any event we can hook into to get more detail but the application isn't crashing. Has anyone come across something similar before or point us in a direction/area that could help throw more light on the problem (might be searching for the wrong thing, but not found anything on google / stackoverflow).
In the end this appears to be down to a difference in the execution of the code when built and when deployed (maybe deployed is faster). We traced that all the relevant calls were being made using Charles proxy and looking in somme logging we had running on the web server. To try and find out where the code was getting to we added "alert boxes" - with these in place both versions displayed the web page correctly (locally built and deployed through test flight). As we couldn't leave the alert boxes in :) the solution was to move where we set up the web call and also to programmatically create the web view, rather than using one attached to the XIB. Still haven't got to the bottom of what exactly was happening.
I have a web app that is intended for use as an iOS offline web app. A key feature of the app is that users can download files with extensions like .doc, .ppt, .pdf, etc. To make these available offline, I am making entries for any such files in a cache manifest.
One other caveat: the most user-friendly way I could get these files to open is to jump out of the offline web app and into Safari to actually open the file. This way, I get the "Open in {{Application}}" options that Safari provides. There seems to be some sort of disconnect during this switch from the offline web app to Safari.
Assuming a clean slate:
I've gone and wiped all the data for this site using Settings->Safari->Advanced.
I launch the offline web app while connected to the server (So we're in online mode.)
The application updates the cache successfully.
I close the web app and disconnect from the server.
I relaunch the app and all of the navigation chrome works, so we know the cache is functioning properly.
I click the link to open a file that needs Safari, so iOS switches to Safari and goes to the file's URL.
Safari says "Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found."
So, it seems the this application cache is accessible from the offline web app, but not Safari? Can anyone verify this?
And then going forward, if that is in fact the case: any ideas for a better way to do it? Thanks!
iOS Safari work same as Safari does. But I assumed that your iOS Safari doesn't load successfully, you know, the network of iPhone isn't fast as your PC. You must attach handlers to determine when your offline data is loaded successfully.
Check it out: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/appcache/beginner/ and try to use JS to check status of ApplicationCache.
Here's a crazy question...The client wants a web application to be available on the ipad when not connected to the internet. My first thought was that it would be a great opportunity to use the offline app feature of HTML5, except that the entire web app (including all the media) is 3GB, and apparently all of it must be available. This exceeds the 5MB limit of the app cache. The website does not necessarily have to rely on any dynamic server side code. It can be straight HTML files. Does anyone know if it would be possible to manually copy the entire website onto the ipad and from there easily launch it in a browser? I was not able to do this, but I have to believe there's a way. Any other approaches to this problem that you can think of? Thank you.
I had a similar problem and here's what I found that worked (using an iPad and a PC):
Download (on the PC) the program HTTrack to the PC. This program can create an offline mirror of a website and has all sorts of options for what gets included.
Run HTTrack on the PC and create a folder for your website.
Install (on the iPad) the free App "Documents 5" by Readdle.
Connect Documents 5 to some sort of cloud based storage (I used by Google drive account, but I'm sure Drop Box would work also)
Zip the entire offline website folder mirrored using HTTrack and upload the zip file to cloud storage (Google drive)
Click on the zip file in Documents 5. It should be downloaded to the iPad
Click on the downloaded zip file in Documents 5. It should be automatically extracted.
Now open the extracted folder and click on index.html. This is your website offline.
I don't know if there is a way to move the index link to the home screen...
There are several apps that can be used for storing files on the iPad and viewing them in an embedded browser. I use GoodReader, but this might be overkill for your purpose.
I've been able to view them using FileApp (after transferring via DropBox), but it's far less than ideal.
Use hightail.com, you can link a website as a space, it will actually convert the website to preview image, then can be access on iPad as webpage in browser, no need to copy file to iPad or install any software.
