I am using IBM worklight 6.0 for building a hybrid application. My application is running perfectly on IOS 7. When I migrated the same code to Xcode 6 beta for IOS 8 build, only the splashscreen with loader came up and the app hangs. From the logs I saw that the application goes to skinLoader.html. None of the events are called.
To my curiosity I created a dummy worklight iphone environment and ran it on IOS8 and again the app got stuck on the splash itself.
I had a deviceready event on the html which was not called. So I am curious to know if there are other issues other than the userAgent issues with the worklight for IOS8.
It is a known bug in iOS 8 beta 1 in Cordova applications and it is expected to be fixed in upcoming releases.
Applications that use Apache Cordova/PhoneGap are broken due to a bug that causes the window.navigator.userAgent object to become undefined when window.navigator is replaced by a pure JavaScript wrapper object.
via
and it is already answered in this forum.
A fix for the stuck-at-splash is provided in an iFix release from September 18th via IBM Fix Central.
For more information please see this question: Worklight 6.1 and iOS 8
Scenarios:
If a user has already upgraded to iOS8 and the application got stuck on the splash screen, AFAIK the way to handle it is to either:
Uninstall/re-install the application from the App Store.
Install a newer app version (see below) from the App Store.
If a user did not yet upgrade to iOS8, it is best to use the fixed Worklight Studio to generate an updated app, increment its version and re-publish it. Then, Remote Disable the existing version and direct users to install the fixed version from the App Store; the fixed version should then continue to work after upgrading to iOS8.

I am using the latest iOS platform and plugins in my cordova application. The app works fine on older versions of iOS but not on iOS 10. I am getting timeout error. Tried removing platform and adding again. Also created a fresh project. Still no luck. The app works fine on Android as well.
I ran into the same Problem and apparently there is no fix at this time. Here is the current thread with this bug in the apple forum: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/64526
This is a similar issue to this one : Cordova whitelist iOS 10 SSL error: Failed to load resource: An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made
I found that it solved my problem with API calls and WebViews that broke when iOS 10 came out.
I have two applications developed on WL 6.2.0.1. And I was building my iOS projects using xCode 6.3.1 as I wasn't facing any issues on iOS (All OS versions)
When I upgraded my xCode to 7.3.1. all my iOS projects that are running on iPhone/iPad with iOS9+ starts to fail and it not even connecting to my WL server anymore.
Any invocation I make it failed and I see no logs on the server, meaning it is not even reaching it.
If I tested the same build that is done on xCode 7.3.1 but with iOS8 it works.
When I revert back my xCode update as I have a time machine, all start working again on All OS versions.
Is there a known issue with WL 6.2.0.1 with new xCode? I have been searching and couldn't find anything about this.
Server version: 6.2.0.01.20141013-1735
Starting with Xcode 7 and iOS 9, Apple now requires ATS (Application Transport Security) by enabling TLS 1.2 on the server and working with HTTPS on the client. That is why all your requests are failing - because the client & server are misconfigured.
During development, you can disable ATS. See here: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/blog/2015/09/09/ats-and-bitcode-in-ios9/

I have an UI issue in my Swift 1 (Xcode 6, iOS 7.1) app on devices running iOS9. I've tried to convert my app to Xcode 7 and Swift 2.0 but I'm running in a lot of issues here.
To give my customers a quick fix until I've figured out whats wrong I was wondering if I can download and install Xcode 6 (the version I build and uploaded the app last time) correct the UI issue (I know what to do) and upload the app again.
In a nutshell: Will Apple deny an app update with an old Xcode/Swift version?
The “Submit Your Apps” page currently (as of 2015-09-23) says
If your app still depends on Xcode 6, you'll need to keep a partition or external hard drive with OS X Yosemite installed in order to submit from Xcode 6.
This clearly implies that you can still submit apps with Xcode 6 (and therefore with the iOS 8 SDK).
Is it possible to upload an app archive to the App Store in Xcode 7 beta for internal testing with Test Flight?
Has anyone been able to do that?
Note: I am asking about submission for prerelease internal testing with Test Flight. I am well aware that releasing the app to the public is not possible from beta versions of Xcode.
Update
I was able to use Xcode 7 beta and upload binary to the App Store's prerelease section. After that I was able to open it from the Test Flight. Code Signing identity was: iOS Developer. Provisioning profile was "Automatic". Both values were set for Debug and Release.
Yes, you should be able to upload your application via beta Xcode 7. But, the problem is to have potential bugs and that's also why they name it beta. You should take this as a risk when you decide to upload your application via new Xcode. It's okay to go with this way if you are handling your personal application. For your client or business, it's the best to use a stable version.
So basically i have upgraded to iOS5 and xcode 4.2 but after a little playing around i found out you can't submit apps to the app store with it (even if the apps are set to 4.3 or lower)
So i reinstalled xcode 4.1 (xcode did some back up thing so i still have 4.2) and started work on application building and such like. Submitted application to app store / testing on device everything running fine.
But suddenly (well just now) xcode has said:
The version of iOS does not match any of the versions
of iOS supported for development with this installation of the iOS
SDK. Please restore the device to a version of the OS listed below, or
update to the latest version of the iOS SDK; which is available here.
So i can no longer test apps on my device, nor can downgrade my iPod says apple...
but what im sooo confused about is that it was all working a few hours ago.
Why can't i do it now?
Anyone know a fix?
Thank you.

Apple has apparently told testers of iOS 5 that any devices updated to that beta cannot be downgraded back to iOS 4. They will only be able to further upgrade their device and eventually install the final iOS 5 release. From Apple:
Devices updated to iOS 5 beta can not be restored to earlier versions
of iOS. Devices will be able to upgrade to future beta releases and
the final iOS 5 software.
However, I've also seen this post: http://www.jailbreakmovies.com/2011/06/08/how-to-downgrade-ios-5-back-to-ios-4-3-3-tutorial-video/ which claims to be able to restore iOS 4.3 to a device. I haven't tried it, but if you're feeling adventurous and/or desperate, you might give it a go.
