My Long-standing Website Looks like S#*# on iOS8 Safari Now - ios8

My website has been around for many years. It looked fine on Safari on iOS7. Got my new iPhone 6 yesterday, checked out my website, and it has all kinds of errors. Looks terrible. I checked it with Chrome on iOS8, looks fine. Checked it out on desktops and it looks fine.
Is there a bug in iOS8 or did they make some unannounced change that web devs need to know about?

Resources (images, custom font, etc.) not showing in app after uploading to AppStore - Xamarin Forms iOS

I have an app produced in Xamarin Forms and already published on the iOS AppStore. I recently updated the app and when I published it, it was uploaded to the AppStore with no images, tab bar icons, custom font that I had been using, etc. I have been investigating this for a couple of days but cannot come to a conclusion as to why this is happening. When debugging, everything shows as expected. I've even published an Ad-Hoc version of the build and everything is showing as expected with the Ad-Hoc version too.
There are also no issues with the android version on Google Play, so this seems to be happening specifically with the iOS version when being released/distributed to the AppStore.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Apple News Preview - Simulator stopped working

I am currently testing the Apple News JSON format using XCode / News Preview / Simulator and randomly running into a new error that was not occurring prior to today.
I am attempting to load the article.json file into the News Preview app (it's been working up until today). The article.json file gets successfully loaded with no errors in the console but the Simulator is claiming that the channel is not available for me. Here is what the error message on the Simulator reads:
Channel Unavailable
This channel isn't currently available in your region.
The News Preview and Simulator were working just fine until today. I have tried re-installing XCode and News Preview (and Simulator because I re-installed XCode) but the problem persists. Other colleagues of mine are now experiencing the same problem.
I tried also clearing all the content in the Simulator and tried wiping the device clean and also tried going to the "Debug" menu in Simulator and setting the Location specifically there, as well, without any success.
Is there a way to fix this or is there a way to know if there was a recent developer push to the Simulator code base?
Just to add a bit more detail, I am attempting to load the official Apple News article preview files, not my own article.json files (I tried loading my own json files, as well).
Any help is appreciated.
Hey I also just had this issue and have been troubleshooting since yesterday. Not sure what is causing it, but it only happens for my on devices simulators from iPhone 7 and newer.
Try running the preview on iPhone 6 or an older-gen iPad, etc... that's working for me.
The solution on only one of my machines was to enter the Publisher ID into the News Preview application, which is the first thing that is asked when launching the News Preview app. After entering the Publisher ID, everything seemed to return to normal - for all of my colleagues and I.
See my comment above about my new macbook and the new problem it is having.

Not able to scroll within simulator

I'm writing an app using RubyMotion and the redpotion gem. I have a problem displaying the app with the simulator as it does not allow me to scroll within a tableView. It neither works when simulating an iPhone 6 nor an iPhone 4.
This is independent of the app. I have tried it also with my friend's app which works fine on his computer.
As I am not experienced enough to find out exactly what causes the problem I hope very much that somebody can help me resolving the problem.
Thanks, Daniel

iOS 8 Mac OS X Simulators, clicking on anchor tags with href=mailto do not populate the Mail App composer

This it not an issue on real iOS devices, only in iOS simulator devices.
In iOS 8 simulator devices, clicking on a anchor tag that have <a href="mailto:me#example.com"> opens the Mail App but does not populate the to field in composer.
After further testing, I found that ONLY the subject fields gets populated for some reason, but not the others mailto:?to=me#example.com&subject=mysubject&body=mybody
Tested Simulated devices: iPhone 5/5s/6/6+, iPad air, iPad mini, I gave up.
Firmware: iOS 8.0.x and iOS 8.1, so you need xcode 6.1
Test Page: http://jsbin.com/roxage/2/ this test page have a lot of combinations, as I tried many RFC 2368-valid formats, and it looks Apple's implementation of Mail App claims to be compatible.
I think I tried everything I know, does anyone have a workaround?
There was a related question here - but it's tagged as Objective C question and it was down voted for using xcode6-beta a month ago, i presume.
Mine is much simpler, the anchor tags on any HTML page with mailto simply don't work as expected in iOS 8 Simulator. It's obviously a bug in the Mail App when it's in a virtual machine, but I am looking to see if someone found a workaround somehow. I already filed a bug at bugreport.apple.com but there is no publicly accessible URL to share here.
I tested iOS 7.1 Simulators on many devices, and they all work fine.

My iOS Simulator is missing Safari

Issue: Safari app missing in iOS Simulator
I installed Xcode 5.0a on my mini at work, and launched the iOS Simulator hoping test our mobile css. Much to my dismay, Safari was not on the homescreen. Rebooting the simulator did not help. Restarting xcode, and later my mini did nothing either. Even dragging a link (such as https://www.google.com) into the simulator would cause iOS to give an error, indicating that there was no https handler at all. After nearly an hour of googling, I could not find anything about the missing Safari app. In my desparation, I was looking up everything even remotely related.
So, how do I get Safari installed on the iOS Simulator?
Solution: "File -> Reset Content and Settings..." caused Safari to reappear.
... and then suddenly it was right there in front of me. I saw an answer by Sihua in a pretty unrelated question that proved to be the very thing I needed:
Did you try "File -> Reset Content and Settings ..." in the simulator ? [...]
After doing this, Safari appeared in the tray as normal after the simulator rebooted. It was back to normal. The clouds parted, the sky turned blue again, the birds started singing... the curse had been lifted!
I could get back to work. But first, I wanted to post this solution in case there are some other poor devils out there beset by the same frustrating issue.
