TypeError:’undefined’ is not an object while loading app on iOS 5

[boniek]

Hello,
I've got problem with my application. Basically it won't load when I use iPad with iOS 5.1.1. It shows only wait indicator and after a few minutes I'm getting an Error:

JavaScript: Error

Undefined

TypeError:’undefined’ is not an object

On the other iPad with iOS 4.3 everything seems to be working fine.
Any thoughts what can cause it ?
Thanks!

Yeh I've had this before too. It is ugly to debug because safari doesn't give you a line number.

The error I had was even worse because on desktop safari it was fine. Yuck!

I wish I could tell you there's a magic way to fix it, but there isn't one that I know of... just lots of console.log()s at certain points in your app until you work out where execution is stopping. That was a fun 3 hours of my life !!

I've managed to recreate the same problem by going to Kitchen Sink in Safari (5.1.7, Win7) and by using iPhone (iOS 5.1.1). The only trick was to enter Private Browsing mode in Safari.


Javascript Console gave me:
TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 't.assets')
/deploy/touch/examples/production/kitchensink/:9


Looks like a problem with microloader/production.js, when HTML5 localStorage is blocked by Private Browsing in Safari.

I've verified this in the latest public/working ST2 and SDK tools beta3

This makes all apps crash and burn silently on any iOS device with private browsing enabled. Why hasn't this been marked as a bug? Will it be resolved in CMD / ST2.1? Can we get a patch for existing apps built with ST2.0 and SDKtoolsB3?
