Private Browsing in Safari doesn't allow localStorage and throws JS errors

[Quy]

For example, under System>Content, Long display date format is cut off and you can't scroll pass this point to see the other options.

Thanks, we'll have a look at this.

What version of the admin are you on?

We did some major rework of mobile support in the 1.1.X beta of the Admin and this works on iOS, I just tested on my phone, works fine in Safari and Chrome.

v1.1.0-beta.2 test release. Downloaded the entire package from here: https://www.getgrav.org/downloads

What browser? I can't replicate this.. Working fine on my iphone and on the iOS Simulator for ipad.

Not working with Safari on iOS 9.3.1 (iPad)
Working on iPhone 6s but not iPhone 4s

I connected the iPad to a MacBook Pro and in Safari>Develop, here are errors that may be related to the issue:
QuotaExceededError: DOM Exception 22: An attempt was made to add something to storage that exceeded the quota..setItem - admin.min.js:4:21701
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)...user/plugins/admin/themes/grav/js/vendor.min.js.map

Well that's interesting! I'll hand this over to our resident JS expert to have a look at.

Are you using private browsing? i googled, and seems like that might be an issue. The admin does use local storage in places to store info and states.

[rhukster]

Yup, i can recreate with private browsing. I think this limits a lot of functionality for storing state locally, so this is simply not going to work with the admin. Just use regular browsing mode and it should work fine.

[Quy]

Confirmed that private browsing is the culprit. Thank you!

Reopening and editing the title.

Thanks.

[rhukster]

Closing as we can't really fix this.

[w00fz]

I actually fixed this now, so stay tuned for next beta.

Only note of consideration is that you will still see an error in the console that is caused by debugbar of which we really don't have control over. However I did test and admin still works fine, quite likely you won't only be able to use the debug bar.

Cheers.
