I'm developing a web application, this application is supposed to work on Android and iOS. I wrote the code in JavaScript and used OnsenUI and JQuery. I use Firebase Real-time database and the application is also hosted on Firebase.
The problem is that the application works properly on Android and also on Chrome both on Windows and macOs but when I try to run it on an iPhone it doesn't work (neither on safari nor chrome). When I run it the UI loads but isn't filled with the data downloaded from the database.
What could be the problem? This is my first web application so I don't have any experience.
Thank you!
I'm on a project cross-platform where the client wants a website, an iOS application and an android app. I chose cordova to realise it.
But I have one question, can I host my application like a classic website on a distant server ?

While you might be able to reuse parts of your HTML, CSS and JavaScript for the website, Cordova apps run on physical devices like phones and tables and interact
(access device capabilities) with the underlining operating system like Android and iOS.
When you have an existing server-based web app, and you want it running in a Cordova app, you'll have to migrate it. Depending on what your application does you could use a thin Cordova client (think of it as a web browser embedded in a native app) that automatically redirects to your web site.

EDIT: the following is only for testing, not production
Cordova supports the browser platform.
By running cordova platform add browser you add it to your project and with cordova run browser you run your app in a browser. To run it in a specific port, you need to run cordova run browser -- --port=1234.
You can add, build and run the iOS and Android platforms in the same project.

I am finishing up the development of an app using Cordova. I have installed the AppRate plugin and it is working as it should. However, when running the app on an IPhone and opening up the rate page for the app, there is no back button. Android and Windows both have a way of getting directly back to the app, but in ios, there is no way without closing the browser and clicking on the app again. Can anyone help. I would like a back button or a button to close the browser
My app starts wonderfull when I directly deploy it on the tablet via cordova run android.
However, If I leave the app and come back by tapping the app icon on android, the app fails to start (displays the same screen I ususally get when I deployed a JS syntax error). How can I detect that or solve that?
I have a mobile web app that works in conjunction to a native app (downloaded from the app store). When I run the web app, I am detecting if the native app is installed when the user clicks on some buttons. So far so good. Now, how can I detect which VERSION of my app is installed? Is this even possible?
