PI09530: ADAPTER INVOCATION IS FAILING IN IOS 5 IN WORKLIGHT 6.1 ENVIRONMENT.

Download for IBM Worklight V6.1.0 Fix Pack 1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using a Worklight-based hybrid application that contains
  native pages in a Worklight 6.0 environment, if a Worklight HTTP
  adapter is invoked from a native start page everything functions
  correctly.
  
  After upgrading to Worklight 6.1, this adapter invocation always
  fails on iOS 5, however the same Worklight HTTP adapter and
  Worklight application continue to function correctly on iOS 6
  and iOS 7.
  
  When the adapter invocation fails, it returns raw HTML
  as the response: Adapter Failure Response.
  
  In the Xcode Console the following error is seen:
  ==============================
  [ERROR] Worklight: -[WLRequest requestFailed:]:338::Status
  code='404'
  error='(null)' [ERROR] Worklight: -[WLClient
  onInvokeProcedureFailure:
  userInfo:]:696::response string=HTML returning from adapter
  ==============================

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Developers and administrators of a Worklight 6.1 environment *
  * with native application code running in iOS5 environments    *
  * that makes adapter invocations.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When using iOS5 native applications, there is a chance that  *
  * adapter invocation fails with a 403 exception.  There is a   *
  * difference in behavior in Objective C APIs when running on   *
  * iOS 5 when compared to newer versions of iOS.                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * -                                                            *

Problem conclusion

• The code has been modified so that the runtime is shielded from
  the offending behavior differences in the Objective C API when
  running on iOS 5.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpack 6.1.0.1.
