What we will cover• Bugs to watch out for

• Design decisions for native apps & websites + their workarounds

• Gestures

• The new look and feel

• New & removed features

Page 4: Ios7 - The good the bad & the changes

Bugs to watch out for...

• Web SQL permissions to increase the default 5MB of space for an app to the previously permitted 50MB limit no longer work correctly, and require a workaround.

• “Save to Home Screen” apps are basically broken. Once more than four apps are saved to home screen, the save slots are recycled and sometimes duplicated, and the phone has to be rebooted in order to clear itself.

• If your app uses AppCache and you are managing state via hash or other mechanisms, the history object will never update, disabling history.back.

Design decisions: Tints

Feature: Tints are selected based on the primary background colour

Workaround: Select your background colours carefully

Page 6: Ios7 - The good the bad & the changes

Design decisions: Navigation

Feature: Bottom navigation is problematic, in this design it’s disabled because of the new iOS7 Safari toolbar.

Workaround: 2 user taps will activate the menu again - or rethink the UX & navigation.

Page 7: Ios7 - The good the bad & the changes

Design decisions: URL barFeature: No way to hide the URL bar with javascript, no full screen mode. Problem if your app relies on absolute positioning.

Workaround: Swiping up will reset to full screen, or asking user to add app to homescreen

Page 8: Ios7 - The good the bad & the changes

Design decisions: Page titles

Feature: Safari now ignores page <title>

Workaround: It will show the URL, so make sure it makes sense.

Page 9: Ios7 - The good the bad & the changes

Design decisions: HTML5

Issue: Animating SVG with Javascript is a bit hit or miss with your performance.

Workaround: Look at your interactive elements and slim them down if possible.

Page 10: Ios7 - The good the bad & the changes

Gestures: Up-swipeFeature: iOS7 now has a control center visible on a bottom up swipe.

Workaround: Be careful with your app or site to suggest an upwards swipe gesture to the user.

Page 11: Ios7 - The good the bad & the changes

Gestures: left/right-swipe

Feature: Right and left swipe gestures within about 10 percent of display edge are always grabbed by iOS and treated as a forward/back request, and not passed to the browser.

Workaround: None

Page 12: Ios7 - The good the bad & the changes

The new look & feel

Feature: The new OS icons are 5% bigger in 7.0 that 6.0

Workaround: Update those bad boys

Page 13: Ios7 - The good the bad & the changes

Removed features: Datetime

Issue: doesn’t support the datetime input type anymore and it will fallback to text.

Page 14: Ios7 - The good the bad & the changes

New feature: Sticky position

Feature: Sticky position is a new experimental feature that allow us to fix an element to the viewport but only when it’s off the visible area (usually after a scrolling action)

Page 15: Ios7 - The good the bad & the changes

New features: Multitasking

Issues: When running a homescreen app the system will use a while image.

Workaround: None

Page 16: Ios7 - The good the bad & the changes

New features: Dynamic behaviour

Feature: Dynamic behaviors offer a way to improve the user experience of your app by incorporating real-world behavior and characteristics, such as gravity, into your app’s animations.

New features: Speech synthesis

Feature: Speech Synthesis api allows mobile safari to speak.
