iOS 8 - White Flash

[Stevf]

Changes in iOS8 (final) mobile safari causes white flashes between pages. Transitioning between pages on iOS-8 devices now results in a white flash occurring between page loads, tested using Version 1, Release and demo preview (http://jqtjs.com/preview/demos/main/index.html) both exhibit the white flash issue.

This is going to be annoying for users and devs, hopefuly its not a difficult fix, any suggestion would be helpful. thanks

Having the same issue since updating to iOS8

Yes, its effecting all my apps been looking through the code and jquery forums as well (as it might be related to that) to find a solution, but so far no luck.. quite annoying ios's new web engine seems to have caused a lot of issues.

Hi,

Just wanted to point out that I am using the latest builds and am NOT
seeing this issue any of my sites or in the demo sites.

• I am using iOS 8 (official release version) on an iPhone 5S

I tried with the demo with a iPad (retina) on iOS 8, and iPhone 5S, and iPhone 6, none of them show a white flash. (all iOS is release version).

Were some of you been using iOS 8 beta?

Please reopen with specifics if you are having problem with released version of iOS.

Issue occurs on iOS-8 final not beta running on iPhone 5, iPhone 6 and iPad Mini retina (see video below), the flash appears when navigating between pages especially when navigating back to the home page.

Screen Recording: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v9d5a9o7ui87eqb/WhiteFlash.mp4?dl=0

Shows flash in standard demo (http://jqtjs.com/preview/demos/main/index.html) running on an actual device captured through reflector, i get the same flash in my own app but more white as i use the ios jQTouch theme.

Thanks for the screen recording. I am able to repro it.

The animation runs fine inside the Safari and with PhoneGap. "Add to Home screen" mode has flash. Is it what you sees too?

[Stevf]

Yes, for my app im not using PhoneGap but instead using the native UIWebView to load the web-contents and it displays the same issue as pinning to the "Home screen". I've also tried using the newer WKWebView provided with iOS-8, but that also exhibits the same flash issue when navigating between pages.

nb. Seems related to iOS-8 as my same app running on iOS-7 doesn't have any flashing. Also it doesn't seem to occur inside Safari but appear in the "Add to Home screen" mode and inside apps using UIWebView/WKWebView.

This seems to be happening when items are in FULL SCREEN. On several mobile sites I have done, if you view in safari there is no flicker. When you add to home screen though then it is there.

To clarify: The reason I mention this is in this case these are mobile sites not apps and no Xcode involved.

I am seeing the same thing, however, it appears that class="disolve" will eliminate the flicker. Not ideal but a workaround.
