----------------------------------------
Summary: Removal of Windows 8.0 code breaks some types of Windows
8.1 devices
Key: CB-11753
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11753
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: Windows
Affects Versions: 6.3.1
Environment: Windows 8.1 Pro Dell Tablet x64 bit
Reporter: robert-crowell-gdit
Priority: Critical
In Apache Cordova (v6.3.1) WINDOWS platform code (v4.5.0-dev), due to Issue
CB-10480 (
https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows/commit/d783f2073430492e59d99009b30411fb8e8e897a
) in platform.js the final "else" clause was removed
" // windows 8.0 + IE 10
- scriptElem.src = "//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/js/base.js";", since
Windows 8.0 code was removed.
Now, the Windows 8.1. Pro Dell Tablet I'm testing with (Internet Explorer 11),
is reporting the variable navigator.appVersion as "5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64;
x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116
Safari/537.36". Due to that value, therefore Apache Cordova will never load
the WinJS stuff because it falls thru the logic entirely..
The end results is that the application crashes when anything WinJS related is
accessed by code (when I try to do a network check, it will obviously fail),
since WinJS never loaded properly.
Recommend having one basic final "else" clause that will either 1. Load a very
basic version to provide SOME functionality, or 2) Provide some form of loading
error feedback. But that's just my own opinion..
Thanks for all the hard work and great software.
