Description

When using Titanium SDK, 8.3.0, 8.3.1 or 9.0.0 Orientationchange will stop firing on iPadOS after a short time. Using the example code below you can open the app in the simulator or on device and rotate after a few rotations the event will stop firing, the label and console log will stop changing. Going home, and reopening the app often makes the issue happen right away. A screen recording of the issue can be found here: https://streamable.com/j7m95u

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
    backgroundColor: 'white',
});
var label = Ti.UI.createLabel({
    text: 'Height: 0, Count: 0',
    textAlign: 'center'
})
var rotateCount = 0;
Ti.Gesture.addEventListener('orientationchange', function (e) {
      console.log('Height: ' + Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformHeight);
      rotateCount++;
      label.text = 'Height: ' + Ti.Platform.displayCaps.platformHeight + ', Count: ' + rotateCount;
});
win.add(label);
win.open();

Someone noticed this issue many versions ago but didn't seem to create an issue here in Jira. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58167424/titanium-orientationchange-event-does-not-fire Seemed to break after 8.1.0.

"location" event of Ti.Geolocation is also not firing in iOS 13.x . In iOS < 13.0 it is working fine. See the test case -

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({ backgroundColor: 'white' });
   
   Ti.Geolocation.accuracy = Ti.Geolocation.ACCURACY_HIGH;
   
   function getLocation() {
       Ti.Geolocation.addEventListener('location', function(e) {
           alert(JSON.stringify(e, null, 2));
       });
   }
   
   win.addEventListener('open', function() {
       if (Ti.Geolocation.hasLocationPermissions()) {
           getLocation();
        } else {
           Ti.Geolocation.requestLocationPermissions(Ti.Geolocation.AUTHORIZATION_ALWAYS, function(e) {
               if (e.success) {
                   getLocation();
               } else {
                   alert('could not obtain location permissions');
               }
           });
       }
   });
   
   win.open();

Thats a great one to be missing also. I had not noticed it but I will double check in my app as well.
