Question

iPhone app on an iPad unresponsive

I've developed an iPhone app using Air for iOS 3.2 which is nearing completion.

Even though it's just for iPhone, Apple's rules state that it must also work on an iPad - will display small in the centre of the screen with the "2x" button at the lower right of screen.

The problem:

In Air for iOS settings, if I have Full screen UNCHECKED, then when it launches on an iPad there is no response to touch events at all. That is until such time as the "2x" button is used, at which point it begins to work as normal.

If I re-publish the same app with the Full screen option checked, then when launched on an iPad it behaves as expected.

Problem is I don't want it to be full screen on the iPhone - I want the iPhone's menu bar to be present.

I've checked with two other apps I'm developing, and this behaviour appears to be the case in all of them.

I've also switched to Air for iOS 3.4 but this behaviour remains.

Seems like a bug to me - or am I missing something?

Any help much appreciated.

David

Hi David,

I tried out the above issue with AIR 3.2 and 3.4, but I am not able to reproduce it.

App behavior on iPad is same whether fullscreen is “checked” or “unchecked”. In both the cases, touch event is coming.

Could you please share any sample code in which issue is reproducible?

Thanks,

Pranali Jain

Hi Pranali

Thanks for your followup.

I've been playing further and there's another crucial fact I failed to mention in my original post...

The problem does not arise if Aspect Ration is set to "Portrait".

In the general settings:

Aspect ratio is set to "Landscape"

Both "Full screen" and "Auto orientation" are unchecked

Essentially, I have deconstructed my project until there is nothing left except for one Simple Button on the screen that does nothing but change state when touched and does a trace when in a debug session.

Can I assume that your app was Portrait?

Thanks David for giving the information.

We've been able to reproduce the issue and this is iOS 6 specific with aspectRatio "landscape" and fullscreen "false".

We are looking into it.
