    Default iOS shortcut issues

    Hi there,

    I am working on a 18.2 Mobile WebApp. Using IIS7, Locally Generated SSL Certificate for HTTPS (required for location access in newer browsers), Android (variety of devices - no problems here) and iOS 10 and 11 (latest).

    When creating a shortcut on an iOS device using Safari ("Add to Homescreen" option) I am running into a few major roadblocks.

    1. When clicking on the shortcut, the "browser" opens but only shows a white screen, no login screen.
    - a shortcut to https://weather.com works without problem (looks like it opens in the actual browser instead of a separate instance)
    2. When you have been logged in and hit the home button and click the shortcut to open up the website where you left off, it requires you to log in again. No Session timeout!
    3. The login is all numeral input - needless to say that on the iPhone it does ignore this and pops up the regular keyboard. Any workaround?

    Tested following setups:

    • HTTP
      • Result: No White screen issue (however, re-opening goes back to login screen), geo location not allowed

    • HTTPS (locally generated SSL certificate)
      • Result: White screen issue when re-opening, geo location working



    Compared to SynergyApp S17

    • HTTP
      • Result: No White screen issue (re-opening goes back to login screen - requires logging in again)

    • HTTPS - not tested - not supported


    Compared to Weather.com
    • HTTP (URL Rewrite to HTTPS)
    • HTTPS
      • Result: Creates a shortcut but opens the web browser (safari) to display the App.

    In the Index.html file is a line item that makes the app Web App Capable: I changed that to no and now it uses the browser instead of emulating being an App.
    Code:
        
    <!-- Hiding Safari User Interface Components -->
        <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="no">
        <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black">
