Topic: Juicebox lost swipe functionality under iOS9 [SOLVED]

Upgraded to iOS9 (iPHONE 5s).
Juicebox lost swipe functionality under iOS9 (at least under Safari).
Returns blank window with buttons -- no images, titles, captions.
Need help ASAP.

Re: Juicebox lost swipe functionality under iOS9 [SOLVED]

Unfortunately, with iOS 9, Mobile Safari no longer respects the meta viewport tag which Juicebox dynamically inserts into the web page for a 100% x 100% full browser gallery.
The solution is to include the following meta viewport tag into the <head> section of your gallery's web page.

<meta id="jb-viewport" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=0" />

It is unfortunate that adjustments need to be made for iOS 9 but the solution is backwards compatible and will work with all versions of iOS.

We will update JuiceboxBuilder and the plugins to include this meta viewport tag in the generated web pages very soon but, in the meantime, you can add it to your web pages manually to solve the problem.

You're welcome.

Edit:
We have now released Juicebox v1.4.4.2 which addresses the problem.
We have also published a blog entry and issued a Tweet regarding the new release.
