iOS 7 web apps lack History support #36

First of all, Thanks for this great plugin for enabling old browsers to get up to speed on the History API.

Right now, iOS 7 is rolled out, and as many people have discovered, Apple has chosen to disable the History state management in web apps pinned to the home screen. See this link:

(Under HOME-SCREEN WEBAPPS)

Would it be possible to get this plugin to take over for that functionality?

Hi, I can not install the new iOS at the moment. Tell me how worked a library is currently in the new Safari?

Thank you in advance!

If you have Xcode, you can download the new iOS 7 simulator there. That is the only place I have been testing it.

The API is there, it is just not functioning.

history.state will return undefined history.length will return 1 no matter what history.back() does not do anything

Somehow it is like the state stack is not being populated when the state changes.

Hi, I updated my iPad 4 to iOS7 and did not notice the problems with the work of my library.

Hi

I have now been looking more at the bug, and it is an iOS 7 bug. The effect of the bug is issues with history on sites using application cache.
