We are working on a SharePoint Portal and facing some weird issue with iOS devices (safari browser). At times, as we navigate from page to page, sometimes a next page will not load. browser stays white (blank page). No errors. F5(browser refresh) takes care of it and the page loads fine.
We researched this issue over google and found that people are discussing about this & there is no concrete fix for it except clearing browser cache (in code or manually).
Has anyone had experienced similar issues with iOS devices before & found any working solution for this issue? Any insight would be really appreciated!!
Thanks.

I have tried pretty much every which way to configure the Google Invisible reCAPTCHA widget, but there is always an issue with the latest Firefox browser, detailed as follows:
add the plugin to a web page, which has other JS such as a dropdown menu
load the web page
keep loading the web page over and over, in an attempt to catch it 'half loaded'
eventually you will see for a split second an alert "The page at https://www.google.com says: Cannot contact reCAPTCHA. Check your connection and try again"
from now on, JavaScript is entirely broken until you restart the Firefox window
This never happens in Chrome, and appears to be Firefox only. I am surprised to not find any reports of this major issue with vendors Google and Firefox (unsure which party is to blame), so created this ticket.
This issue can be replicated on the official Google Invisible reCAPTCHA Demo by quickly reloading the page. This will eventually show the alert and break the entire demo, making all form inputs unresponsive until the Firefox window is closed and re-opened.
At the time of writing, I am using OSX Firefox 57.0.1 (64-bit) to replicate this issue, but has also been replicated on the same Firefox under Windows 10.
Update after valid comment from Federico, as this is being reported a lot but no solutions or workarounds that I can find: Google Groups Search
Is this a known issue and are there any plans to resolve from either Firefox or Google, or more importantly has anybody managed to put a workaround in place in the meantime?
I think the issue is resolved now. Try again and it is giving successful verification. I guess it was a bug which they fixed. If the problem still persists please try upgrading Firefox to the latest version.
I have this application running here:
https://afternoon-cliffs-70079.herokuapp.com/
and it works totally fine on the computer as well as on my galaxy 8, however the problem is that the application fails to run on ios. I have tested a few scenarios and have limited it down to the fact that what I am doing is running the application in an iframe (this is done so that the application can be full screened on one page, then when a user clicks on a menu item they are sent to another page without breaking the full screen). Is this a known issue for how ios handle iframes? The problem appears on both safari and chrome for ios.
EDIT:
One thing I did notice is that a lot of people do seem to be having problems with iframes in general on ios. Not this specific problem, but other problems.
First a little context. I'm a designer from the Netherlands with a love for code. I can find my way pretty ok in html and css and a little bit in php and javascript. I love the Stack Overflow community, it helped me so much and it still helps me every day in becoming a little bit better at coding!
I have never asked a question here at S.O. before, because I always found a way to solve problems, untill now. I literally tried everything and I really hope you guys can help me.
I have a hobby project: https://unboxguide.com
It is some kind of TripAdvisor for CrossFit Boxes (gym boxes).
It is a Wordpress website which uses several different plugins for some functionalities.
The site works perfect on desktop browsers like Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc. No problem there.
Then on mobile, still no problem there. On Android with chrome, it works perfect, on iPhone with Safari, still shiny.
But then.... the horror starts.
The Facebook in-app browser. There is something completely weird there. If I post a link to the website on Facebook and you click on it in the Facebook app it will open the Facebook in-app browser. The website renders completely randomly. Sometimes it doesn't load fonts, or any of the layout (css). Sometimes it doesn't even load the images.
Some research taught me that it is some kind of webview of the internal Mobile OS browser. So on iPhone a webview of Safari and Android a webview of Chrome.
I tested the Facebook links on Android, no problems there. The problem only occurs in the Facebook app on iPhone.
If you want to see for yourself, post https://unboxguide.com on your Facebook (just do it privately, so only you can see it) and keep refreshing it. The more you refresh, the more random results you will get. It's so strange.
I've tried so many things: rebuild the whole CSS, killed all plugins, tried different themes and tried to build everything from scratch. I also tried different backups from a few months ago where (I thought) the problem didn't occur yet. Nothing helped.
I really really hope someone has had the same issue or understands the problem, and can help or point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
PS: If anything is needed furthermore to help you guys figure out what the problem can be, please let me know and I can post more information.
Old question, late answer. If your website uses ajax and uses X-Requested-With header to detect ajax requests (or not) this could be the reason. Webviews most of time use the X-Requested-With header for something else, so your pages are displayed like Ajax results (without css, javascript etc) and not like full html page.
Hope this helps.
I’m experiencing this odd issue where the web inspector in both Safari and Chrome don’t refresh after a full page reload until about 10–20 seconds later, and only with the web app I’m building. Anyone ever seen anything like this?
Here is a video showing the issue.
The video starts with a page refresh. When you see the blue screen that means the page is fully refreshed. A full 13 seconds later you’ll see the content of the inspector on the right refresh.
This is a relatively heavy React app I’m building, but actual browser performance has been great. I see no lag times or chuggy responses in the actual UI. Only this strange inspector issue. Safari fares slightly better, but still a weird lag.
I’ve no idea if this is a React issue, an OSX issue, a browser issue, or something else entirely. Happy to move this to the appropriate place once I find out (fingers crossed).
"googlechrome://www.lego.com" opened in mobile Safari will switch to Google Chrome iOS app to open the URL. This allows for scriptlets like the one below, which allows you to open the current page in Google Chrome iOS app, switching from mobile Safari:
(function()%7Bif(document.location.href.indexOf('http')===0)document.location.href=document.location.href.replace(/%5Ehttp/,'googlechrome');%7D)();
My question is, can the reverse be done? I tried "safari://www.lego.com", and it is simply an invalid URL. Can you make a scriptlet which switches from Google Chrome to mobile Safari to open the current page.
The answer is yes. Courtesy or MacStories (http://www.macstories.net/tutorials/chrome-for-ios-send-a-webpage-back-to-safari-via-bookmarklet/), I found this code:
window.location='googlechrome-x-callback://x-callback-url/open/?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&x-source=Safari&x-success='+encodeURIComponent(location.href);
Execute that code, go to your homescreen, reopen Chrome, and there's a magical back button to go back to Safari. This may not be exactly what you want, but it works... Kink of.
Good luck!

It seems that the functionality to do this has broken. Thank you!
