Yeah, I’ve been using fastclick.js.
My issue was that when I saw the (useless) tap delay was gone, I rejoiced since I would be able to remove the dependency from my codebase, clean up my code, lighten my assets and reduce my dependencies. I checked it into git, deployed…only to see that it was still there in fullscreen mode.
When I asked about it in the developer forums, I was ignored. I tweeted to people on Apple’s team (I think the right/relevant ones?), but again, ignored.
When I submitted a bug report, I simply got an email that it was a duplicate.
‘Engineering has determined that your bug report (25679073) is a duplicate of another issue (25573509) and will be closed.’
That was it. It’s the principal of the matter really. It’s simply frustrating to see them not only neglect safari full-screen mode — but also be silent about it when people speak up.
“We don’t care about you, lowly web developer. You don’t pay us anything. Go back to your non-app store place.”
I guess this article was the the result of the culmination of all of my experiences.
