Mark Brooks Slikware | There are some websites that seem to have a couple of really nice features in an IOS environment:
- When they are pinned to the home screen, a nice icon appears rather than a screenshot - When they are run in the browser, the browser UI shrinks to minimal Using these features that become much more app-like. Both seem to require merely a few HTML tweaks, although I may be wrong: - https://webdesign.tutsplus.com/articles/quick-tip-give-your-website-an-ios-home-screen-icon--webdesign-10067 - http://blog.initlabs.com/post/81716286465/how-to-display-websites-in-fullscreen-mode-in-ios7 I wondered if anybody had managed to achieve either of these? If so, did you modify the EWB emitted HTML manually or can it be addressed some other way? If not currently possible, this might be a nice inclusion for the EWB project options dialog, in a similar manner to the way that one currently adds a favicon. Tim? Mark |

I wrote a little tool in Delphi to search for the title, and then insert new meta items in the header. This was run in the FinalBuilder build process, so done for releases. This was in EWB v1 days, and worked well. I've not tried it recently. -- Matthew Jones |

Chris Holland SEC Solutions Ltd. ![]() | Hi Mark,
You can achieve both of these by using Cordova (Phonegap) and building the website into an IOS app. It also then becomes available on the IOS store.

Mark Brooks Slikware | Thanks guys.
I'd like to avoid a PhoneGap type approach if possible, primarily because I'll need to provide real-time app updates. It therefore looks like I'm into manual HTML modification post-compilation. If you're listening Tim, could these types of functionality potentially find their way into the project options dialog one day, per the favicon support? Mark |

Uli Becker | For those who are interested in a solution for Android: there is an
interesting link on that: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/native-hardware/fullscreen/ I just tried the "manifest" solution and it works great. Uli |
