When you tap on a written address in Safari on iPhone, the Maps application is launched automatically. The address is not a link, just <p>Mainstreet 1, Town</p>
How can I disable this?
just use atomic web browser and set the option to identify browser as IE9 for example.
ah sorry reread the question...

Is it possible to clear mobile safari cache using the desktop web inspector in Safari?
I know I can go to the settings in the iphone, but it's a bit of a hazzle and since the phone already is teathered to the computer while debugging, it would be really nice if I could clear it thourgh the webinspector in safari.
You can use Cmd + Option + R while in the developer tools web inspector to force mobile safari to reload its cache.
I had another problem which was that Fiddler also has a cache. I also had to clear that as I was running the iPad through the fiddler proxy.
Once I cleared the fiddler cache, and then used Cmd + Option + R, I could see the iPad requesting and receiving the new files.
I came across this issue with safari 11.1, and the answer was really simple. There is actually a button on the right top corner of the network tab to disable caching when debugging. I thought about leaving this just in case someone else miss the button just like I did. ( the one in blue )
I'm using Safari 11.1 on a macbook, and using Web Inspector connected to an iPhone with iOs 11.2.6.
From the Web Inspector, if I use the key board short cut: OPTION + COMMAND + R, it both clears the cache and reloads the page.
Well, there is an option for this in the Develop menu - however it doesn't appear to work.
A simple way around this is to add a new parameter to your url
eg. http://domain.com/testing.html?refresh=1
(of course having the functionality working in Web Inspector would be better)
Old thread but if you have your iphone connected to your desktop developer tools, you can hit OPTION + CMD + E (shortcut for empty caches) while viewing the web inspector that is connected to the iphone. Then hit the refresh button in your iphone browser.
Make sure you are really connected (Develop > Your Phone Name > The Website being viewed on phone) It should show on your desktop developer tools dropdown menu.
Safari 11.1
High Sierra
ios 11.4
Try Cmd+alt+R when iPhone is connected and your inspecting with developer mode. It worked for me!
Nothing here worked for me on iOs 11.4.1. After digging around in the network tab I found Command + K which is "Clear Network Items". I hope this helps someone.
You can connect your iPhone to a MacBook via USB and use the Safari Web Inspector
Once you are connected, you can use Develop -> Empty Caches.
Is there a way to disable caching on ipad/iphone? I want to run some automated tests for non-cache experience.
I just stumbled across a way to disable cache in Safari on iOS:
iOS
Open Settings
Navigate to Safari > Advanced
Enable Web Inspector
Switch back to Safari and load a web page
Desktop
Open Safari
Navigate to Safari > Preferences > Advanced tab
Enable the Develop menu
In the Develop menu, select Your iOS Device Name > The Page You Want to Debug
Press Command-Shift-R to reload while disabling cache
Bonus: This is a full Web Inspector on your computer inspecting a page on your iOS device
If you want something more permanent, you'll either have to go the proxy route or make a UIWebView/WKWebView wrapper app that disables caching.
I could be wrong, but on iOS does putting Safari in Private Browsing mode disable cache?
There is a way to effectively disable caching on iphone/ipad/IOS.
Install Fiddler on a windows desktop, and allow remote computers to connect:
In IOS, setup a proxy under your wifi connection settings, pointing to to the IP address of the computer you are running fiddler on, and on port 8888 (assuming you haven't changed it from default in fiddler):
By now, fiddler should be intercepting all web requests your device is making.
You can now disable caching from the Rules -> Performance menu in fiddler.
Doesn't seems like possible. On desktop safari, there is a option to disable cache in developer tools, however there isn't one on mobile safari. I didn't find the option in other browsers like opera neither.
If you wanna try, you can overwrite a desktop firefox's user agent string and make it a fake ipad mobile browser, and then disable cache. But that will depends on what you want to test and it could not work at all.
Hope this helps.
In the newest MACOS doesn't work anything to "full reload" content to me. Debug isn't really something pleasure.
After connect desktop Apple Safari with iPhone or iPad - it should work ALT+CMD+R - but not for me.
The newest trick is
hold CTRL+SHIFT
and CLICK not touch, to icon "Reaload page"
Maybe help someone.
Thx for inspiration

Using iOS Simulator 9.0 I have been finding that both the Developer - Disable Caches menu item and Cmd-Shift-R reload have both failed to completely bypass the cache for whatever reason. The only thing that worked was to hold shift and press this reload button in the Safari Developer tools:
I have a fairly standard ASP.Net web application which is used via mobile safari on the iPhone.
Some users who have a link to the web application placed on their desktop via profile are reporting that when navigating between pages (which I do on the server with Response.Redirect after specific events or via standard anchor tags in other cases (no target specified)) that Safari opens a new window instead of reusing the existing window.
Because of this, any login token/cookie etc (i'm using the built-in ASP.Net membership stuff), is now gone for that new browser window and the login prompt is shown.
The problem doesn't happen every time, and I can't seem to replicate it on my device (but i'm not deploying the shortcut via profile)
As you can probably imagine, it's quite frustrating for the users to have to log in every time, and you can't fix an issue you can't replicate.
My question is, has anyone heard of this issue and/or know a workaround?
The app is NOT iPhone specific, that is, it is used in a full desktop browser as well, and the logins stay like you'd expect there - and the same window is reused repeatedly.
I've considered a few possibilities, but have been drawing a blank as far as what might be causing this or how I can resolve it.
Do you have any iPhone meta tags set (to remove the url bar or the toolbar, for instance?) If you do, the phone will assume it's a native web app, and urls will open in a new safari window, like they would for any other native app.
If you are taking advantage of using the web app in full screen mode (where it is bookmarked to the launch screen next to native apps) you can prevent it from jumping out of fullscreen mode by and in to safari replacing type links with javascript.
location.href = '/yourPath';
This is a nifty trick which even works if you are linking to an outside URL, like doing an OAuth to Facebook and back.
I have a blog post on this here: http://www.aaroncoleman.net/post/2011/07/29/Keeping-iPhone-Web-App-in-Fullscreen-mode-from-Homescreen-Launcher.aspx
Is there a way to launch Voice Control programmatically just like you can launch Safari? If so, how?
Other apps can be opened only if there is a URL scheme they've registered. This is how you can open Safari or Mail or even Maps programmatically, but not arbitrary applications. The list of Apple supported applications with URL schemes are documented here.
Unfortunately, Voice Control does not have a documented URL scheme, so it cannot be launched programmatically.
E.g. When you download pdf on the browser (PC) hit starts the Adobe acrobat..similarly...can any app find another app is installed or not..and if its installed...can it start?
on iphone..when you click on a HTTP link from an app it starts browser automatically..similar..
There is limited support for declaring custom URL schemes. Have a look at the answer to a question I asked previously.
