  • I updated the first post with a new build : v1.1.

    You can now save images on disk !

  • Filhanteraren : since I have now way to debug it under the Awesomium export, I can't make the necessary changes...

  • Arima : about the extra security checks, we can't know, it relies on informations provided by Apple. It's possible that they are going to give a new release (iOS6.1.1 or something like that) to patch the bugs of the 6.0.

    About the AppStore, yes, they aren't making money on it, but they need to provide an "experience" to sell their hardware (since, after all, Apple is an hardware company), so yes, they won't release their grip on the AppStore.

    But it's not because of the AppStore existence that HTML5 is lagging behind on their platform. It's because of the security department being behind every move of the other department, saying 'no' first about every new feature, and after that looking about what can be done to let a bit of that feature slip in the new iOS release <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />.

  • Arima : since iOS5, webapp are indeed accelerated too by the Nitro Javascript JIT engine. It must be a bug lying somewhere, but not a conspiracy <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    (Believe me, they could, Apple would be the first to completely ditch the AppStore and let people handle themselves the app distribution, using HTML5, it would cost them way less <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />).

  • I have updated the first post with a new build. You can now load image files too.

  • I added a new build to the FileReader plugin, in the dev section : http://www.scirra.com/forum/topic50038_post315160.html#315160

    You can now let your user load text files from her own hard disk :

    But also images :

    As always, you can find the original .capx and plugin in the dev thread (http://www.scirra.com/forum/topic50038_post315160.html#315160)

  • delgado : I have no problem when loading your project, I can see the video.

    By the way, it's better to use an <iframe> directly, instead of embedding an iframe with an url inside a <div> <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle">.

    Like that : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1412774/yt_mod.capx

  • Arima : thanks for the test. It seems the bug isn't related to that, then...

    cesisco : I saw people on stackoverflow doing the same to get FPS back. But it's not a long-term solution. So somebody needs to filla bug at Apple.

  • delgado : can you post a test .capx ?

  • Ashley : I don't have any device with iOS6, so I can't test. However, I know that for ap added to homescreen, things are managed differently than iOS5. Particularly, the cache manifest is dealt differently (now every webapp has her own sandbox, like a regular app). But with that new feature there are some new bugs (like no geolocation for webapp to homescreen), and various bug associated.

    Can Arima test a game, removing the cache manifest at the head of the HTML page ? If it doesn't allow you to save files to homescreen, I suppose that files need to be saved with IndexedDB (adding more problems...)

    If the problems aren't related, that can be anything...

  • Ashley : you're right ! With iOS5, home screen webapps have the same right to access Nitro than inside Safari. My memories are playing games with me...

  • Try Construct 3

  • cesisco — : Safari can benefit from the Nitro JIT for Javascript, but not the UIWebView, nor webapps saved on home screen, even if they are "loaded back" with Safari.

  • Schoening : yes. If the ads are inside an html page, you can display the page inside the iframe in your game.
