I'm in the middle of a short build (~5 days) mobile app that is using app cache and annoyingly I can't see to get it working on iOS, all the standard web browsers seem fine but iOS is being a PITA. I don't suppose you have any top tips?

That said more technical details would be awesome - I'd love to see how other people are doing things like this!

We didn't have to do anything special to get offline stuff working in iOS, sounds like we're lucky we didn't hit the problem you're having.

Here's a simple demo that works in iOS http://appcache-demo.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/xhr/ - that might make it easier to see what you're doing differently. Are you serving the manifest with the correct content-type header, for instance?

Thanks for that its really appreciated!
Jake has an article in the works that will go in to this stuff in much more detail - keep an eye on http://lanyrd.com/blog/ for the link when he finishes it.
