White screen when launching sample app from ios 6 home screen

[btang]

Hi, still new with sencha touch/architect so I may be doing something wrong. I recently installed Architect 2.1 using touch 2.1 to create a sample/test app. The issue is that it seems to run fine if launched from safari by entering the url but if I bookmark it to the homescreen and launch it from there, all I see is a white screen. I've tried to pinpoint when it fails and it seems that if I add a form field (ie email field) to a container, it just shows the white screen when launched from the homescreen bookmark but seems to display just fine from the browser. Is there something special I have to do with form fields for it to launch properly from the homescreen? It seems to work fine if I just have a basic label and no form fields.

Here's a basic example that fails for me launching from the home screen: Added a container named MyContainer with an emailfield and a label using Architect's ui drag and drop- no extra code or functions. Saved it and it previews fine from the ios browser - bookmark it and launch and all I see is a white screen.

code in app.js:

Ext.Loader.setConfig({
    enabled: true
});


Ext.application({
    views: [
        'MyContainer'
    ],
    name: 'MyApp',


    launch: function() {


        Ext.create('MyApp.view.MyContainer', {fullscreen: true});
    }


});


and code in MyContainer.js


Ext.define('MyApp.view.MyContainer', {
    extend: 'Ext.Container',


    config: {
        items: [
            {
                xtype: 'emailfield',
                id: 'myemailfield',
                itemId: 'myemailfield',
                label: 'Email',
                placeHolder: 'email@example.com'
            },
            {
                xtype: 'label',
                html: 'test'
            }
        ]
    }


});

If I switch back to touch 2.0.1.1 seems to work fine but with 2.1 I get the white screen. Anyone know of a workaround with touch 2.1?

Might need to copy your app.html over the existing index.html

That's what gets loaded by simulator

Thanks Phil for your suggestion. I tried copying over the app.html as index.html but still run into the issue of the white screen when launching from the homescreen. Any other possible suggestions?

Thanks!

I bumped into the same bug

[YoyoLiu]

me too.
I got white screen when i add form object.

Can somebody help me?

[timelyraining]

add Requires fields section, it's fine.

[Mthor]

this post ^ is correct, add all components used in the requires, we had the same issue untill all the proper required items were added to the Requires block.

[Phil.Strong]

Meaning adding the framework components or simply requiring the other classes in your project.

Ext.form.field.TextView
vs
Myapp.view.Dialog

So there is a bug in Sencha Touch 2.1 which basically ruins packaging and simulating. 2.1.1 has a fix for this. I hear it should be out late this week early next.
