We have created some custom applications like Card Management/e-Alerts using symXchange and linked them to Banno. They are loading and working as expected in all ios phones but unable to load in some Android phones. I have attached the error message.enter image description here

I suspect this must be intentional on Apples part but I will ask anyway because it works from both mobile and desktop safari.
I create a simple .vcf contact from inside my web app and try to download (aka export) it.
This creates a .vcf file in desktop Safari that is actually downloaded where the user actually has to click that to get it into contacts. And in the mobile safari version (without saving to home screen), the exact same code will pop up a warning screen mobile .vcf warning which at least gives the user the opportunity to import the .vcf into contacts.
Admittedly neither the desktop or mobile safari use case it a good user experience but at least they work.
Whereas, the exact same code saved as a homescreen mobile app simply fails without error on an iphone (i.e
)
I have tried multiple ways to export from the app (most of which work from safari mobile or desktop browsers if NOT web app capable)
as a blob from base64 text/vcard
as base64 text/vcard
using window.open(vcftxt); // where vcftext is base64 text/vcard
using location.href = vcftxt; // where vcftext is base64 text/vcard
using an a tag with download= and href= vcftxt url
All the above work..just not in a homescreen app that appears native
code example (run on iphone safari...not tested on android)
https://www.airbridgelabs.com/s/0/app3.html?sd=100 - Click on contacts logo at the bottom when this page opens in safari and you will see the warning which still allows the user to open the .vcf in contacts
https://www.airbridgelabs.com/s/0/app3.html?sd=100&tm2=100 - This will walk you thru saving to home screen or you can simply save to home screen manually without the tm2 parm. click on the contacts logo at the bottom when this page opens in safari and you will see nothing. Safari developer remote console shows no errors or warnings...simply does not work.
I figure I can probably pass the created .vcf to a page on my server which in turn opens the .vcf which will likely then export it to mobile contacts..but that is a lame solution which still requires the user to be online to save an embedded contact.
And please don't use the argument that this is about security. If it was about security then you wouldn't be allowed to do the exact same thing from a desktop page, or mobile safari page or hybrid native app...and you can. This looks like Apple simply reducing the value of mobile web apps that look native.
What I am looking for is an offline work around to simply save a mobile contact already coded into the mobile web app capable content the user intentionally created.
I developed a chrome packaged app and was successful running it on a computer (Windows, Mac, Linux). Basically what the app does is it refers to another web application that I created as well with Google Maps Javascript API in it that displays the location using pushpins and I am displaying it using webview.
However, we need this app to be ported to a mobile device as well but when I tested on my Samsung Tablet with android version 4.4.2, the webview does NOT seem to work even if I enabled the "webview":"system" in the Manifest.mobile.json. Is there a way for me to achieve this in porting the chrome app to mobile using webview?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Nevermind, I have already read from the API and Libraries page of mobile chrome app under "APIs Coming in the Long Term" section in where webview is listed and so tag is not supported "yet".

I am designing my first mobile site for a small local business.
The most two most important features were a built in 'call us' button and a map function.
The phone call part was pretty easy. But the part that I'm confused about is how to get the maps part to work with both iphone and android users. I can find how to do each one specifically, but how do I cause the button to open up the map app for both iphone and android users?
I am building an html5 web-app which will hopefully be mainly run from a mobile device. The app has a phone number which when clicked, calls the number displayed.
This works great if the user is using an iPhone or Android etc, but what if the user is using an iPod Touch or iPad with no phone capabilities? On the iPhone simulator in XCode, i get an error message saying that safari cannot open the page.
Is it possible to detect if the device has a phone, and if not, disable the link
Thanks
I am building mobile app for Android and iOS platforms using Phonegap. I want to use a html5 document viewer to display pdf's, ppt's and all in the mobile app.
I saw Crocodoc. Its good, but i need to something open source which i can tinker with.
Can you please suggest if currently there are any open source solutions to display documents in the mobile app ??
