Description

First lets get some technical details out of the way:

Snow Leopard 10.6.4
Titanium Developer 1.2.1
Titanium SDK 1.3.2
iOS SDK 3.2 or 4.0

I discovered this bug trying to get oAuth working for Twitter. The bug occurs when the Allow / Deny page is submitted. You will briefly see the next page, with the authenication pin number, then the app will crash with the following error:

This also crashes in a build of 1.3.3, but the problem isn't (really) with Titanium, it is a bug in iOS4.

The problem is with the WebView trying to recognise phone numbers, while we can'r fix this problem in iOS, we can work around it by adding an option to ignore phone numbers in a webview... unfortunately that is beyond me on Objective-C, but here is where I found the problem discussed:

And here is their implementation of a fix:

Hi Jeff,

As a workaround in Titanium 1.3.x, it is possible to set the webview autoDetect to AUTODETECT_NONE:

            webView = Ti.UI.createWebView({
               url: pUrl,
               autoDetect:[Ti.UI.AUTODETECT_NONE]
           });

We should revisit this, maybe fixed, but headache.

Yes! Let's revisit this!
