iOS 8 critical bug [Scrollgate]

[tonyareias]

Hi,

Scroll is broken, we need to swipe really fast to scroll content on iOS 8 (iPad only) when your fingers is inside a control.

Open Tapatalk app for iPad (go to this forum or others) and try to scroll (gently) with finger inside images (touchable content). There's many apps with this problem and recompiling don't solve, developers need a dirty workaround to get scroll work correctly.

Developers reporting this problem from beta versions of iOS 8 and no word from yet.

Anyone noticed?

I have noticed something like this in Facebook's Paper app, but I haven't had this issue with any other apps on either iPhone 5 or iPad Mini.

From developer point of view:

UIScrollView "delaysContentTouches" and "canCancelContentTouches" is not working on iOS 8 (iPad).

Workaround

Swift

extension UIScrollView
{
func touchesShouldCancelInContentView(view: UIView!) -> Bool
{
return true;
}
}

Objective-C

@implementation UIScrollView (ScrollFix)

- (BOOL)touchesShouldCancelInContentViewUIView *)view
{
return YES;
}

@end

If you are a developer, why are you posting this in a public forum?

Why would he not?

 

[tonyareias]

No word / fix from Apple from early betas after developer forums complaints. Maybe Apple will fix this issue if it goes to public.

Why would he not?

Because it violates his agreement with Apple. Apple has a forum for this discussion, and has a system for reporting issues and requests. This forum is not it.

No..

- There's a public issue that applies to my personal iPad with iOS 8 Final;
- No contents from the other forums;
- I'm here as normal user, not a developer.

Scrollgate? Really?
Are you really doing this?
Not every alleged "controversy" needs to be appended with -gate.

So he's not allowed to post on a forum ever ever ever, if he's a registered developer ?
