iOS 3.1.0 orientation change resizes webview

[yimingkuan]

Builds on iOS using PhoneGap 3.1.0 resizes the webview on iPhones whenever the orientation is changed. If the app is launched in portrait mode, then rotated to landscape, only a white screen is displayed. If rotated back to portrait, the webview is rendered only on the left side of the screen, while the right side of the screen is white.

AppID is 214964

Indeed. Also see this issue: http://community.phonegap.com/nitobi/topics/perminant_white_overlay_on_ios_phonegap_build_3_1_0

Hi Bob

It is partially fixed and are reproducible. Can you by chance revisit the issue?

Thanks

If it is fixed, will there be a new phonegap version? Otherwise how do I get this fix... My remote phone gap builds as of a few minutes ago are suffering from the bug shown in the link amirudin posted in his comment.

I am also experiencing this issue with phonegap 3.1 + ios7

[bobeasterday]

@scottopolis are you building with Cordova, or PhoneGap Build?

[scottopolis]

Phonegap build. I managed to fix it, I think the problem might have been that I wasn't including all the plugins I needed. Also, I switched to phonegap 3.0 and that helped, although I haven't fully pinpointed the problem.

[bobeasterday]

This problem was specific to 3.1.0 on build. A fix for it went in place a while back, and others who had reported have since verified the fix. In any case let me know your App ID and I can take a look at it if you like.

Hi bob, is this fix currently live in phonegap build now? I can still reproduce it with my app (id 394833) built using 3.1.0.

If i start the app in portrait mode. Change to landscape and take a photo the webview resizes back to portrait.

edit: on IPad2 IOS 7

Same here, problem still exists in Version 3.1.0 on PhoneGap Build and iOS7 (App ID 555513).

Edit: Here's what happens: When I launch the app in portrait mode and then change to landscape mode, i see only a white screen. After rotating back to portrait mode, the app is partially shown on the left side - everything else is cut off.

@sbelitz I just tried your app in an iPhone 5 and an iPad 3. Neither of them exhibited this problem. Are you still experiencing it?

[sbelitz]

Hey Bob, thanks for looking into this. I have now deleted the app from my iPhone and did a fresh install (without hydration). That did the trick, it's working now. Thanks a lot!

@sdmarshall Please check if the solution provided by @sbelitz works for you as well.
