Same behavior on Iphone 3 and 4, both with OS 4.3.2.
I open URLs not in a UIWebview but externally, with openURL() –> Safari.
If I go to visiteksjo.se in the Safari app, I get a zoomed-out view, and I can double-tap or pinch to zoom in and out.
If I open the same URL with OpenURL from within my app, I get a heavily zoomed-in view and can’t zoom out or in, I have to pan to read.
I’ve done nothing special to get a special view of that page. Does Safari and Safari-from-openURL pass different information to the web page server?
What steps can I take to get the same viewing behavior from my app as in the Safari app?
(It seems as if the in-app Safari call behaves like the mobile version of search.yahoo.com, while the Safari app behaves like the desktop version of the same page.)
ps. The app in question is called Eksjö on App Store, if you want to confirm the differences in behavior.
No solution has been found, and I must conclude that openURL() has different behavior from opening the url in Safari in IOS, ie. missing feature or bug.
