I have recently updated my iPad to IOS 15.1 after the update my phone gap web application which is using applicationCache is not able to cache files as the event listeners are not working.
I am not able to find any resource to help me fix this problem so I thought I might get help here. Thanks
Looks like applicationCache was disabled on purpose, see: https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=426150&action=diff
Thanks @Softsal for posting and @snowak for answering. This is very sad that ApplicationCache is disabled when ServiceWorker is still not available in WKWebView on iOS15. My web view based app lost the instant open experience.
That reminds me that "benevolent neglect" was used to describe Apple's attitude to the Web. When they cannot offer more to native apps, they take away existing things from the Web.
