Shazron Abdullah created CB-7539: ------------------------------------ Summary: Use local webserver option to load local HTML file from www Key: CB-7539 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7539 Project: Apache Cordova Issue Type: Bug Components: iOS Reporter: Shazron Abdullah
This workaround is because of this bug: http://www.openradar.me/radar?id=5839348817723392 (filed with Apple of course also) I'm still hoping that Apple fixes this in iOS 8.1, but we should have this as a contingency plan. Create this as an included plugin, so it can be extracted later if need be. We need to secure access to the local webserver, probably through a session token in the header, since background apps can have access to the webserver. The session token is passed down to the initially loaded local page specified from the <content> tag in config.xml, and should be used in the cordova.exec call. We would also need to implement local proxy support , see CB-7348 This all sounds more complex than it needs to be than just loading a file url -- wishing Apple would just fix this in iOS 8.1 instead. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
