nipplejs get stuck in iphone when switch app

[adriancabouli]

hi, i am having troubles with the plugin. I made a game, and use the nipplejs like a joystick. When, (by mistake) the user switch the app to another, or try to, and in that moment is moving the joystick, when returns back to the app, the joystick became stuck in the last position that it was. And then is no way back, it always keep like that. I made a code that if i leave completly the app, (it calls in jquery VisibilityHidden) i remove nipplejs and create new instance. But the problem appear if i switch to another app and return back instantly to my game, or also when the apps are showing in "select app to switch" in iphone, and i am keeping moving the joystick. It happens a lot with iphone x cause the status bar in landscape mode is always visible and close to the joystick, so is probbably that the bug problem happen more than once. Thanks!

i also made an easy test to reproduce the error. If a alert("bla bla") box appear when i am moving the joystick it will get stuck too! (always in iphone i am testing). thks!!

I'll be damned... did you test it in every issues you've answered?
Thanks a lot for finding this out anyway.
I'll think of a solution to add this in the library.

Hi! It was a pleassure! your pluging rocks! At léast in my case in plugin static mode all the issues that i answered become fixed with touchcancel event. And for the user experience is imperceptible when you destroy and create new instance (in static of course) Enviado desde mi iPhone El 28 nov. 2017, a la(s) 06:09, Yoann Moinet <[email protected]> escribió:

@adriancabouli this works better for me:

$(window).on('touchcancel', function(e) {
    nipple.processOnEnd(e);
})
