Any way to work around issues with Google Places AutoComplete? #316

I'm working with Google Places AutoComplete on iOS (8) which pops up a dropdown under a text box dynamically.

The Places Autocomplete is finicky to begin with - it never worked on Windows Phone for example, but when I add fastclick to the page it also fails in iOS , the selections are not triggering an autocomplete update as it should. It seems the tap registers - the dropdown goes away but the Maps API fails to select the actual value.

An example of this behavior can be found here: http://geocrumbs.net/app/#/search

Anyway - any idea how to work around this? I've tried setting class="needsclick" on the container of the textbox and the textbox, but the actual click operation is happening on the dynamically generated dropdown box so I can't easily assign needsclick to that.

FWIW, it appears that it works on even an ancient Android device with Chrome, so at this point it's mainly iOS that's the problem.

That is strange! I suspect there's something funky going on inside Google's code…

You could consider using selective-fastclick to apply FastClick to just the elements that you know to be safe?
