App with browser not showing content in IOS

Post by kaveh1000 » Wed Oct 10, 2018 9:28 pm

I have a very simple app in LiveCode (Mac High Sierra, LC 9.0.1). The App contains just one browser window with a URL linked. In LiveCode it works fine and I can browse the web page.

When deployed to IOS, or when viewed in Simulator, I just see a white box and no web content. Is there anything specific I have to do to enable browsing on IOS?

Hi Kaveh,

just a shot in the dark, but is this a HTTPS url?
Apple does not allow displaying HTTP urls anymore.

Hello Kaveh,

You can use http urls as well if you disable ATS (App Transport Security) in the iOS standalone settings, although this is not recommended.

Best,
