Webview Bug - Resizing and Rotation iOS 8

Hey guys,

First, some background… I have a few apps in the store, they are all HTML 5 based apps inside a webview. I submitted these apps back in the iOS 7 days and they worked just fine; and those same non-updated apps still work fine today. 

My issue… I needed to update an app’s icons and a few other cosmetic things. When i created a new iOS build using the latest corona build, and installed it on my device, the webview would no longer resize properly. I had a rotation listener in my code that when triggered, would resize the webview to fit the landscape size of the phone. That no longer happens on my iOS 8.1 iPhone :(. Is this a known bug? Is there something i need to hack in there?

Thanks!

What version of Corona SDK are you building with?

What is the last known version of Corona SDK that worked?

Does it work on iOS 7 devices but not iOS 8?

Hey Rob,

We are using version 2014.2393a (Mac). I made sure to download the latest build yesterday.

When we built it for iOS 7, we used that same Corona version. At first, i didn’t update Corona. I tried building this new version like i did before, except this time i ran into that webview bug. So then i downloaded the newest version of Corona and tried again, but the bugs were still present.

I unfortunately don’t have an iOS 7 device to test it on anymore. The old apps that I built (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/grand-blanc-cheer/id883777692?mt=8) work fine in iOS 8. The bugs i noted occur only if I create a new build of them.

Hope this helps. Thanks
