Originator:sflynn

Status:Open Resolved:
Product:iOS Product Version:8.4
Classification:Crash/Data Loss Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
Load my example website at http://worldtvnews.altervista.org/index-webapp.html which has been set in meta as web-app-capable = yes. Bookmark the web app to your homescreen. If you rotate your device while the app is launched, eventually the screen will get smaller and then app will crash.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In iOS Safari go to http://worldtvnews.altervista.org/index-webapp.html
2. Go to the share menu and save the web app to your homescreen
3. Open the web app from your homescreen.
4. Rotate your iOS device multiple times between landscape and portrait mode.

Expected Results:
The web app should rotate as many times as you want and the design should stay the same and not crash.

Actual Results:
After several rotates, the web design zooms out more and more and then crashes.

Version:
iOS 8.4 and iOS 9 public beta

Notes:
I tried changing the web app to not have any javascript or anything extraneous like that, and it still crashes. If you set the meta web-app-capable as NO, then it doesn't crash because it's not a full screen web app.

Configuration:
iPad mini 8.4, iPad Air 2 iOS 9 public beta, iOS simulator (all devices) 8.4
