ibm-mobilefirst - IBM Worklight 5.0.6 - iOS 7 app crashes due to "'[WLPhoneGapDelegate initialize] Can't read checksum.js'"

Question

Just wanted to raise a small question about iOS7 support for Worklight 5.0.6. We will be using this Worklight version for our first launch and testers started testing with iOS7 beta4. Of course, we know it is still a beta iOS and not a really reliable assessment of the final iOS7, but some people are getting worried.

Is that known? Is there/Will there be a fix to support iOS7 with Worklight 5.0.6.

This is what the console of the phone is giving us:

Answer 1

Known and fixed.
The fix was released yesterday.

• For 5.0.6.x: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27039253
• For 6.0, simply check for updates in Eclipse.

(And before you mention it - yes, there is a visual bug you'll probably notice; yes, we know about it as well... :)
