I cannot even get a web app to install full screen with off line support on my iP5 (iOS7.1) using M1 v.2.6.1, so I cannot give you a definitive answer on the back button because I am unable to see it. It works fine in your web simulator but sadly that is not the case with a real device.

incidentally, and I think I have said this before, same web app built with M1 version 2.3.2 installs fine, full screen, off line support on iP5 (iOS7.1) and iP4(6.1.3), back button only works first run on iP5 but works fine on iP4, why is that?

Webapps on ios7.1 are dramatically improved. But not perfect yet. I can share that on ios7.1 there appears to still be an issue with appcache and single page apps that use hash (#) navigation, e.g., back-button widget uses this approach. When device is in airport mode the back button navigation does nothing. I believe the immediate workaround is to convert the button to using a gotoScreen action. (I’ll check this out asap).

I can say why – don’t know. We have never been able to replicate any such level of success (we tried). iOS 7.0 broke webapp installations on homescreen and the app cache was total whacked. Older M1 2.3 apps were build for ios6 with an older api that it linked to. Just guessing but this could have some partial success bypassing some of the ios7 issues.

After more testing I updated http://www.genuitec.com/support-genuitec/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6999&p=24904#p24904 to reverse a premature false positive report (see #2) claiming the back button issue for offline homescreen webapps (aka webclips) is resolved in ios 7.1. The navigation history remains broken in ios7.1 when a homescreen app that uses the appcache is offline.

See “Home Screen WebApp Bugs” section to learn of other issues with homescreen webapps in iOS 7.1.
