Touch events are not firing on inputs iOS8 standalone web app

Question

In a standalone web-app launched from homescreen, on iOS 8.1(8.0), touch events (touchstart, touchmove, touchend) are not firing on inputs/textareas, but on the same device in Safari they are.

I've tested the same web-app on iOS 6 and everything works as expected.

Has anyone encountered the same problem and found workaround for this issue? Maybe there is official bug report? Unfortunately, I've found nothing on this subject.

Are they not getting fired at all or are they getting fired multiple times (in effect making it look like they never got fired)?What is your app built on? What framework? More details pls – Bartram

I've tested this using simple HTML+jQuery page that contains textarea and inputs. Looks like they are not getting fired at all. – Davidoff

first: have you validated that jQuery is running? second: can you share you registration for tap events? – Seibold

can you provide a source please? – Militia

What kind of source do you mean? What do you mean by "source" - english is not my first language. My code is just working again. Did not work with 8.0 to 8.1.2 – Connective

ah ok, I meant "citation" or something, I was thinking you read that from some official source or whatever :) – Militia
