LC8 (DP14) Browser crashes on IOS 9.2.1

[mimu]

XCODE 7.2

When i build a simpel stack, it crashes immediately when navigating to the card with the browser widget included.

If i check " Build 32 bit slice only" inside the standalone Application settings
the problem disappears.

What could be the problem?

Hi mimuBUSkYgY,

What could be the problem?

probably the fact that LC 8 is still an early developer preview!
Maybe the 64bit implemenation is not yet ready for primetime?

Thanks Klaus for your answer,

can you or somebody else confirm this error ?

If so, we should add this to the bugtracker

Hi mimuBUSkYgY,
What code do you have on the card that has the browser?

[mimu]

I tried it with this minimum code

card script:
on openCard
set the URL of widget "myBrowser" to "http://www.google.com"
end openCard

or

on openCard
launch url "http://www.google.com" in widget " myBrowser"
end openCard

stackscript
on preOpenStack
set the fullscreenmode of this stack to "exactfit"
end preOpenStack

[quailcreek]

Maybe try browserFrameDocumentLoadFailed to see what the error is.

Also, put this in your stack script to see if you can catch the error.

Code: Select all

on errorDialog pError
   if environment() is "mobile" then answer pError
   --   put pError
   pass errorDialog
end errorDialog

Thank you Tom,

but no error is catched.

Has anybody the same error, or i am the only one?

Hi mimuBUSkYgY,

Code: Select all

on openCard
  set the URL of widget "myBrowser" to "http://www.google.com"
end openCard

correct syntax!

Code: Select all

on openCard
 launch url "http://www.google.com" in widget " myBrowser"
end openCard

Completely WRONG syntax!
Pleays ALWAYS refer to the dictionary when in doubt!

OK, let's see:
1. Did you select the browswer widget in the standalone builder settings?
Unfortunately widgets are currently not automatically added to a standalone!

2. If yes, can you try this with a button?
I mean:

Code: Select all

on mouseup
  set the URL of widget "myBrowser" to "http://www.google.com"
end mouseup

Maybe widgets are loaded the same way as externals and are not available immediately "on pre-/openstack/card"?

Hello Klaus,

from the docs:
userAgent

// Set custom User-Agent header. The remote web server may be configured to deliver custom content for browsers using this User-Agent.
set the userAgent of widget "myBrowser" to "myAppEmbeddedBrowser"
launch url "http://myexampleserver.com/content.html" in widget "myBrowser"

(i tried different User Agentsettings)

but my first attempt was using the
set the URL of widget "myBrowser" to "http://www.google.com"
syntax

i even already tried set url inside a button.

i 've included the browser widget.

Everything works till i uncheck the the checkbox " Build 32 bit slice only" inside the build settings.

OK, then this might be the culprit, as I wrote in my first answer.

Hi everybody,
did anybody try a simple stack with a browser widget
build on OS X 10.11 with Xcode 7.2.1 or 7.2 for iOS ?

Does the browser widget work on iOS 9.2.1 without checking "Build 32 bit slice only"?

On simulator everything is fine.
or is perhaps my system environment screwed up?

Hi mimuBUSkYgY,
Crashes for me on the device too. Immediate and hard...

Code: Select all

set the URL of widget "theBrowser" to "https://www.google.com"

Put this in the script of the card where your browser is. See if you get the same error I do in the sim. Both browserDocumentLoadFailed and browserNavigateFailed throw an error.

Code: Select all

on browserDocumentLoadFailed pUrl, pError
   answer "browserDocumentLoadFailed" && pError
end browserDocumentLoadFailed

on browserFrameDocumentLoadFailed pUrl, pError
   answer "browserFrameDocumentLoadFailed" && pError
end browserFrameDocumentLoadFailed

on browserNavigateFailed pUrl, pError
   answer "browserNavigateFailed" && pError
end browserNavigateFailed

Have you reported it yet?

Hello quail creek,

excuse me for the late answer, i was a couple of days out of office.

After inserting the error detection code i get this in simulator:

browser document load failed NSURLErrorDomain error -999
but the page loads fine

But the real problem is, i don't get any error on the iphone when i navigate to the card with the browser,
the app dies immediately.

I' am still not sure if the error has something to to with a misconfiguration or if there are more people which get this error
using the browser widget on a real device.
