Iphone Web SDK Full Screen Support
FALGuy
I have upgraded my iphone to the latest rev 1.1.4. I am assuming the
new fullscreen and gesture support is in this release as discussed in
the iPhone Web SDK video on the Apple dev website.
I tried the fullscreen support, but can not get it to work. I
carefully followed the directions outlined in the video and put the
following in my web page <head> section, with an icon in the root
folder.
<head>
....
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/iPhoneBrowser/icon.png"/>
<meta name="apple-touch-fullscreen" content="YES" />
followed by....
<meta name="viewport" content="width=320; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-
scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;"/>
...
</head>
Any ideas why this is not rendering fullscreen?
Thanks

No, 1.1.4 does not contain any of these new features. You'll have to
wait for the planned June release and meanwhile test with the
simulator (assuming it works in there, anyway).

Not a dumb question. It's a new feature that removes the nav bars to
provide greater screen real estate. Watch the "iPhoneSDK for Web
Developers" video on the apple iphone dev center site for more info.
FYI Much of the material in the video is HTML5 enhancements that are
already in Safari 3.1 (beta). The version of Safari in the Aspen
Simulator has at least some of these new features (the user agent
reports version Safari 3.1) as do the Safari nightly builds
(http://nightly.webkit.org/) but iPhone 1.1.4 does not (user agent
reports Safari 3.0). You can also use
http://webkit.org/blog/138/css-animation/ and
http://webkit.org/misc/DatabaseExample.html to test some of the new
features if you're not sure what version the browser is. That being
said, I haven't specifically tried full screen mode in the aspen
simulator to verify if it works.
Best,
