Can you file this bug on WebKit with a reproducible test case? I don't have an iOS device handy, and so I cannot confirm.
I researched some options and there is quite good news here. It seems storage limits on iOS have changed. Using http://demo.agektmr.com/storage/ we can build this matrix:
iPad Air iOS 9.3.2 | IndexedDB | WebSQL |
---|---|---|
Safari browser | infinite (Fruitdown) | 50mb (using size:50 ) |
Web clip app | not available | app crashes at 500mb |
I'll update the PouchDB FAQ and close this issue
My hunch is that home screen apps use UIWebView rather than regular Safari, hence IndexedDB is missing.
I did some research and figured out that fruitdown does not work in sites pinned on the iOS homescreen.
On iOS 9.2.1 it seems when starting a page from the homescreen it does not have indexedDB available while in Safari it had indexedDB available. Maybe Safari runs WKWebView and a homescreen app runs the older UIWebView?
I wanted to PR this into the readme of this repo, but this finding is so strange I'd like to have it double checked first. indexedDB on iOS is so weird...
In the end homescreen apps (which have
navigator.standalone === true
) now run on plain old websql for me.
