  1. POHow To: Home Screen Apps and offline usage on ios 6 – cache manifest obsolete?
    primarykey

    <p>Since apple's ios update to ios 6 data/local storage for Web Apps and Home Screen Apps is handled differently than before. Before ios 6 they shared the same data. Now home screen apps have their own data like native apps (see here: <a href="http://blog.nsbasic.com/?p=928" rel="nofollow noreferrer">iO6 and Data Storage</a>).</p> <p>Since I have some trouble with the cache manifest in my home screen app (works fine in mobile safari, doesn't work right in home screen app – see here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/12625297/1254555">strange behaviour with cache.manifest / offline usage of web app saved to home-screen on ipad ios6</a>), I asked myself if it might no longer be necessary to store data for offline usage for home screen apps via the cache manifest. I searched the web without any luck. </p> <p>So my question is following: is the cache manifest obsolete for home screen apps on ios 6? And if so, can I just leave it in there or do I have to remove it? Or: do I need to initiate offline storage somehow different now? </p> <p>As I uderstand it the cache manifest was/is used to tell what data for a website should be cached so later visits would have decreased loading time AND the website could be used offline (either in mobile safari or as a home screen app). But if now the home screen app and the original website do not share the same data anymore – how is caching for home screen apps handled now? </p> <p>I would be very happy for any advice/help on this. Or at least some links for some how-tos. Thx!</p>
