Mysterious black screen from this morning on iPads for an app wrapped with BDK

@nick.carroll @fede.bubble

Can you please have the relevant people in bubble team take a look at the changes rolled out last night. Something has broken apps across multiple wrappers by making them not load on the iPad webviews.

For example, on the BDK native app, I’m seeing a message that says, ‘Your browser was unable to load the application data. We’ve been notified of the issue. Please try again in a few moments and make sure not to use ad-blockers,’ but this is only happening on iPads. Oddly enough, stuff like my Crisp chatbot (which isn’t part of the Bubble JavaScript) still loads just fine on the same page isolating the issue to bubble content.

The Bubble app works perfectly in a browser when I switch to iPad-sized responsive mode, so I think it’s probably a webview compatibility issue with the new code. This update has ended up affecting thousands of live client apps on iPads (even though they didn’t change anything on their end), so I’d really appreciate it if we could get a quick fix on this. Thanks so much!

P.s. Also sharing a screenshot below. In case it helps for your team’s reference, this is the user agent string we use in bdk: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 14_6 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/14.0 Mobile/15E148 Safari/604.1 .
