Phonegap iOS 5.1 and localStorage

chemitaxis picture chemitaxis · Mar 12, 2012 · Viewed 17k times · Source

I was using localstorage for save one value in my App, that works with PhoneGap, but when Apple has released the new iOS 5.1, my App now doesn't save the value.

Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Thank you very much!!!

Edit: I put the code I was using:

window.localStorage.setItem("login", $('#login').val());

I use it for save the value, and I use it for read the value:

function onDeviceReady() {
    var login = window.localStorage.getItem("login");

    if (login != null) {
        $('#login').val(login);
    }
}

But when I close the App, the values are not saved.

There was a large thread in the phonegap group that talked about this problem. Basically its because they now treat localStorage as a temp item which can be deleted at any point. Never fear there are very smart people at work!
