navigation no longer working in phonegap iOs app after updating jqtouch - ios

I created an iOS app last year using html, css, js, jqtouch and phonegap. The app has worked well until recently. It appears that since the iOS 5 update, there is a problem with the navigation.
If you scroll down the apps "pages" and try to select any options below the original screen horizon, the navigation doesn't work. Scroll back all the way to the top of the page and the links above the screen horizon all work. If you scroll back up the page, but not all the way to the original starting position, even the links that are above the original screen horizon won't work.
I worked with Phonegap support and they suggested the problem was with jqtouch. I updated the jqtouch files in the project, and now when I try to run the app (from Xcode) in the iPhone simulator or on a test device, the navigation doesn't work at all. Before, the "links/buttons" would change color as they were supposed to but no work. Now, the "links/buttons" won't change color or navigate to the next div or page.
Could someone tell me what I may have missed in updating the jqtouch/jquery files that could cause this?

We had the same issue and e solve it updaing to the latest jquery and jqtouch version.
Hopefully this will help you.

iOS app missing splash screen, new black borders and ui glitching after visualstudio 8.10.10 and xcode 13 update

Just updated to Xcode 13 and Visualstudio Mac to 8.10.10. Since then my app:
Wont display the splash screen.
The app is cropped at top and bottom.
Ui is acting generally weird.
Now I have read old threads on similar problems and adding the Launch screen interface file base name. in the info.plist file does make the app cover the whole screen.
I have tried switching splash screens and change location. But it's just black. I don't use a storyboard for the splash and instead provide several different resolutions, which have worked fine for several years.
The UI is glitching like the loader picture, and several different ui elements where colors are provided are "cut" in the middle showing two colors when it should switch.
I have read the release notes for xcode13 but haven't found anything related that would break the whole UI.
The interface glitching and no splash screen I can't seem to find a solution for. Everything worked fine before the update.
What could be the problem? Some setting in the info.plist, a checkbox in the storyboard?
I'm still new to Xamarin and iOS development and greatly accept suggestions.
Let me know if I can clarify anything.
Thanks
iOS load glitch picture
According to your statement, you are not using a storyboard, so you need to replace the Launch Screen with a LaunchImage, then check the LaunchImage file (if it does not exist, you need to create it yourself) and add all strictly standardized pictures inside.

App icon showing before Splash screen image on Mobile App

I recently starting seeing the icon selected for the App display before the image selected for Mobile App. Please advise if any one notice similar thing with latest iOS update and how to avoid displaying the icon.
Thanks
This was discussed here it's an old feature which is now on by default. You should customize the XIB to get a different look for the splash screen. We might add additional default configurations in the future based on RFE's.

Ratchet Modal bug on iOS 8

I have an app on the store which is built using Ratchet framework. It used to work fine, until iOS 8 was released. Now when I test it on iOS 8, title bars for modals won't appear. All the controls like Close, Back buttons on the bar work when I click, but the bar and the controls on it are not visible. This happens only on iOS 8, works fine on iOS 7 and older versions.
To reproduce this bug, please open this sample app http://goratchet.com/examples/app-android-notes in Safari on an iOS 8 device or simulator, and then click on New note button to open a modal.
I've noticed while debugging it in Safari's web inspector that if I move the bar <header>...</header> element of the modal to somewhere else and then bring it back to its original position, it appears. Or sometimes, changing its display property from block to none and then back to block works. Or sometimes if I scroll the page.
Any solution will be highly appreciated
Seems there is an issue with position: fixed in Safari as discussed in this SO question: Mobile safari position:fixed z-index glitch when scrolling
You can fix it by adding this rule to your CSS
header.bar.bar-nav {
-webkit-transform: translateZ(0);
}
You can track the issue on Ratchet's Github repository here - https://github.com/twbs/ratchet/issues/679
You should try position:sticky;. It's made to deal with position on Safari. fixed has been an issue with mobile devices for years. I thought it was fixed but iOs8 has weird behavior too...

Ipad IOS 7 Safari Iframe freeze only vertically

I was required to display my website in a full page iframe, which was already a pain in the ass (I'm ranting sorry).
In the I have a select input and it seems that after I make a selection the screen freezes when the screen is vertical but if I put it in landscape mode it works like a charm.
Also the same thing happens when I go from landscape to vertical mode and again all comes back to normal back in landscape mode.
I though it could be due to some of my scripts but I remove everything and I still got the issue.
And I forgot to mention it, but there was no issue at all before installing ios 7.
I'm at it for a while so any suggestion would be really appreciated.
I tried reducing the code to the minimum cleaning out the unecessary stuff and putting everything together in a single file instead of using partial pages. Since then it seems to work so I'm gonna leave like that it's been long enough.
Still not sure what was the issue even though it worked on IOS 6 and without the iframe or in landscape mode on IOS 7. Anyway I'm done with it

Fix position:fixed in iOS 4

I am building a small app using PhoneGap HTML/CSS. Now my problem is that position:fixed (used on a top bar) works on iOS 5 but not on iOS 4. Someone knows a fix for this?
Position:fixed doesn't work on iOS before version 5 and some other mobile browsers. There are a lot of solutions out there for this, but one that I can personally recommend is GloveBox written by Nitobi's own Jesse MacFadyen. It lets you define areas that are scrollable, and I believe in your case that would be the main content, while the top bar isn't scrollable.
Another advantage of this approach is that the user won't be able to "scroll out" of your app's view as if it were a normal website on Mobile Safari.
