Dear fellow forum user – YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!
Apple do not accept webapp’s which includes more then 3 goto Url to websites and which do not show any alert messages when website connection is not possible.

Apple:
If your app requires the use of the Internet, you must detect when the network is unavailable and provide a pop-up message informing the user. Just having the spinning busy icon display and a message saying “failed” is not sufficient.

@ ALL,
I am actually not a software developer and have no programming skills but I get use to with help of mobione software and of course with your help. Now also your help is needed in case to provide my webapp template to be rejected from apple store, before I try to upload to apple and get rejected.

What have I done so far:
1. I built with first mobione my template “wci_start” (find enclose) and agreed to the apple developer process, tested it out and now be ready to uploaded and submit the ios file to apple store.
BUT before submission and may get rejected.
2. I made a research in the forum and found out an older topic about problems with goto Urls to external websites. [ http://www.genuitec.com/support-genuitec/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=4825&hilit=appoval+issue ]. I copied the code from “wildwex” and pasted it by using the test center into my WCI_START(TEMPLATE).custom.js.file but with no result of delivering a message when internet or wireless access is not possible (iphone flight modus). Now according the statement of “support-wayne” this issue has not been solved and still is aware for all who want to develop a webapp with goto Url to websites.

WHAT I NEED:
I think what possible would be helpful will be a javascript code based solution to be able to use the Goto Url with popup new window full usage and which will be able to check if internet connection or access to internet if available and show a popup message alert when it’s not possible. The codes should provide us mobione developers with
1. the Popup new browser window full usage
and
2. the Action of internet access approvement “true” and when it is “false” to show an alert message to inform it’s users and be accepted at Apple.

Maybe you have also a other solution to be able to solve the problem of rejection from Apple in case of no alert shown message.
Would be great to get feedback as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Alexander

P.S. find my template (in dropbox – https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1683920/wci-app/wci_start.mobi) for testing and may delivering the right codes to be implemented into the template.

Hi guys,

as I searched around I found following link http://www.theappcodeblog.com/2011/10/18/iphone-app-development-tutorial-check-for-connectivity/ with instructions to implement code for the reachability issue from apple developer http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/Reachability/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40007324-Intro-DontLinkElementID_2 but do not know where and how to place it on my mobione template.

Would be great to get help and get informed in how to use and implement to my template. I think that would also be helpfull for others who have the same problem before they be rejected from apple because the are using goto Urls on their webapp template without any message alert by inconnectivity.

Cheers,

Alexander

I highly recommend that you hire a programmer. Not an Objective C programmer, but one who knows HTML5 and Javacript. That what MobiOne uses. You need someone to write you some Javascript.

Hi 1thinchip,

thanks for your reply. I thought mobione is a tool to make such thing possible but where can I find now help to solve the problem, which I think I amt not the only one.

What do you suggest to go further to get codes and instructions how to be implemented within mobione?

Get the phongap 2.0 javascript module attach it to your project use the connection codes. alot of people think MobiOne is a designer tool, and that’s it????

All apps/software need functions behind those fancy graphics. Mobione is based on PhoneGap/Cardova development, which access phones API via javascript/Jquery/HTML5 etc.

You dont have to be the best JS scripter or html5 tagger just learn some fundamentals.

Hi Peacemaker,

thanks for your reply.

Please
1. could you give me a brief description where to get the phongap 2.0 javascript module
and
2. how to implement this and where in my template of mobione
and
3. also may help me with information how to solve my problem of apple reject by using the code for checking internet connection and showing message if not.

That would be great.

Hi alexander,

I have shared this with dev team to learn if there is additional integrated support for the GotoURL implementation. I will follow up tomorrow after our discussion.

Hi Octavio,
are there any news for me?

Once again my main problems are:

1. how and where to implement phonegap 2.0 javascript cordova at mobione, to be able to use codes from there
2. how and where to implement message popups as apple requests – (Apple: If your app requires the use of the Internet, you must detect when the network is unavailable and provide a pop-up message informing the user. Just having the spinning busy icon display and a message saying “failed” is not sufficient.)
3. how and where to act to be able to activate push notification massaging

Alexander

>1. how and where to implement phonegap 2.0 javascript cordova at mobione, to be able to use codes from there

See my discussion for use of cordova.js here http://www.genuitec.com/support-genuitec/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=5343

>2. how and where to implement message popups as apple requests – (Apple: If your app requires the use of the Internet, you must detect when the network is unavailable and provide a pop-up message informing the user. Just having the spinning busy icon display and a message saying “failed” is not sufficient.)

The starting point is to research how to detect network unavailability and standard HTTP errors in a mobile app. We have an discussion among the developers on what is possible for this situation. But do not have an ETA for introduction of specific error handling. Cordova 2.2 includes api for detecting network connectivity (actually my understanding is it can only detect an active network adapter which is not the same as a network connection).

>3. how and where to act to be able to activate push notification massaging

MobiOne does not support push notifications and there is no provision at this time to access any such services through Cordova. The fallback is to implement this yourself and build your app using the specific sdk and compilation tools for the target mobile platform.
