Learn how to keep Safari up to date
You can keep Safari up to date by keeping your version of macOS up to date.
Go to the dock and select the Safari icon to open the Safari browser. Choose About Safari under the Safari menu. A small window appears with the browser version number. The first number, located before the parenthesis, is the current version of Safari. (.) Tested with default settings. Some platforms can be manually configured to enable more features and better security. I use iOS 9.3.5 and Apple provides Safari version 9.0. A simple attribute to body tag exposes the version of Safari on iOS. Apple should not hide the version number on iPhone or any other iOS device. It looks like Apple updates Safari for iOS only on a major OS upgrade. Safari for iOS 9.0 has Safari 9.0. Apple provides security and bug fixes on.

Get SupportWe are happy to announce that we have just released Cordova iOS 6.1.0
! This is Cordova's official platform for building iOS mobile applications.
To upgrade:
Release Highlights
This release contains primarily fixes for issues with the 6.0.0 release.
Resolve CocoaPods publishing issues(since 6.0.0)
The Cordova iOS 6.0.0 release was unable to be published to CocoaPods due to issues with the Pod spec. These have been addressed and Cordova iOS 6.1.0 is available.
Fix landscape orientation defaults(since 6.0.0)
A change made in Cordova iOS 6.0.0 had the side effect of disabling landscape orientation for any apps that didn't specify an
Orientation
preference inconfig.xml
. We've reverted that change and new apps will match Xcode defaults (allowing both portrait and landscape orientations).To ensure your app properly supports the orientations you want, we encourage setting the
Orientation
Is there a fnaf 6. preference.Fix invisible SplashScreen bugs(since 6.0.0)
A bug in Cordova iOS 6.0.0 would cause the splashscreen to be invisible unless a
BackgroundColor
preference was set inconfig.xml
. This was not the intended behaviour, and caused a lot of confusion about not being able to interact with the webview behind the splashscreen.In Cordova iOS 6.1.0, we've fixed the splashscreen so that it will always have a background colour (defaulting to the system background colour) and so that the launch storyboard image should remain visible.
To customize the background colour of your app and its splashscreen, use the
BackgroundColor
preference inconfig.xml
.Add support for dark mode splashscreens(New Feature)
It is now possible to use optionally different splashscreen images when your app is running in dark mode. You can configure these images in
config.xml
with the~dark
suffix (and~light
is also supported).Add preference for iPad desktop layout behaviour(New Feature)
iPadOS 13 defaults to using a desktop layout in webviews rather than a mobile layout. You can now control this behaviour in your apps with the
PreferredContentMode
preference inconfig.xml
. Valid options aremobile
anddesktop
.Add preference for webview window handling(New Feature)
Historically, Cordova iOS has not supported the creation of new webview windows with APIs like
window.open
or links withtarget='_blank'
. The default behaviour was inconsistent, with some links opening externally in Safari and some links being unclickable. There is now anAllowNewWindows
preference inconfig.xml
to control the behaviour of new windows within the application.- When false (the default behaviour), links that would open a new window are instead opened in the same webview as if they had not requested a new window.
- When true, links that would open a new window will create a new webview overtop of the app. This new webview provides no controls, so you must include a way to dismiss it with
window.close()
.
Links that are outside the list of
allow-navigation
URLs will continue to open in Safari.
Please report any issues you find at issues.cordova.io!
