"Terminated due to Memory Error" in Cordova app

[Vladimir Knobel]

Hi 

I know that's probably more a Cordova issue than a WebViewer issue, but just in case somebody has experienced this same problem.

When opening more than 3 documents in the WebViewer, changing orientation or pinching-to-zoom some times the memory consumption goes to near 200MB and the app terminates with an "Terminated due to Memory Error" error.

Is there some known technique to keep memory consumption low in Cordova?

Thanks in advance for any hint.

Best regards

Vlad

Hi Vlad,

Apple has acknowledged that there is a bug in Mobile Safari related to certain transformations that can cause memory problems. You can see this post for ways to attempt to minimize the issues https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pdfnet-webviewer/-Gp2zUllRQY/0k8qzwNt4osJ.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the hints, for us loading the viewer directly in the UIWebView was the solution to the crashes.

Apparently loading it in an iframe is killing safari's UIWebView.
