DESCRIPTION

Plack::Middleware::iPhone does on-the-fly rewriting of any html content returned by your app (mostly just the head block) to make it play nicer with iPhones.

This is a borderline ACME module. For real HTML5 mobile web apps you should be writing the HTML yourself.

ATTRIBUTES

icon

A 57x57 image icon that the iPhone will display as a shortcut to your app if you add it to your Home Screen via the "Add to Home Screen" function.

startup_image

A 320x460 PNG image that is displayed while your app is loading. If this is not set, the iPhone automatically uses a screenshot of the most recent app state.

statusbar

Sets the apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style meta tag, which controls the status bar appearance when yourself app is launched from a Home icon shortcut.

Valid options are:

  • gray (default)

  • black

  • black-translucent

viewport

Sets the viewport meta tag, which determines how wide your iPhone thinks the screen is and scaling options.

See Configuring the Viewport for more information.

manifest

Automatically generates a manifest file for your application (with whatever name you pass in), and sets the manifest attribute on the html root tag, which triggers your iPhone to start using offline HTML Web App caching.

See Going Offline for more information

tidy

Run the HTML through HTML::Tidy
