Worklight persistent busy indicator - ibm-mobilefirst

I'm working on a project using IBM Worklight and any time I build and deploy my project on any simulator or device, I have this busy indicator spinner in the middle of the screen. Its always there, on every page and its there in the ios, windows, web and android simulators as well as one android device we've tested on. Has anyone seen this before and if so how would I get rid of it.

Jquery-mobile was the problem, it was continuously displaying the indicator for seemingly no good reason. Deleting Jquery mobile fixed the problem

I already used the native worklight loading.It is very good and I tested it on different platforms, devices. But it is necessary to close it when you leave the function that opened it.
Example:
var busyInd = new WL.BusyIndicator ("content", {text: "Please wait..."});
function consult(){
busyInd.show();
//impl
busyInd.hide();
}

Empty Firemonkey app crashes on startup just on Android 7.1, with error NullPointerException on String.contains(CharSequence)

I created a completely new and empty FMX app, tried it using Delphi 10.3.3 and 10.4.0 (patch 3), and when installed on Android 7.1.2 devices (tried two different ones and the official simulator VM), after the splash screen this error message appears:
'java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.lang.String.contains(java.lang.CharSequence)' on a null object reference'
The error message box flickers quickly (endless loop) and gets slower and slower and after a minute the complete device doesn't react anymore and I can only hard reset it.
I found this thread, so I'm not alone. They say it worked until Delphi 10.1.2. There are also many other similar search results.
Is there any solution? On other Android versions it works well.
Or what can I try to get more information about what causes it?
Do you know a good candidate for an app made with Firemonkey that I could download directly and try out on the device?
Now there is a fix available at quality.embarcadero.com!
Just one line has to be added to 'Androidapi.JNIBridge.pas'. I'm not sure if I should copy it here... Will update this answer when it is released.

Android Emulator is not working properly. The screen goes blur sometimes. Why?

Android emulator has not been working properly for the past 1 month. Can someone please suggest what might be the issue. It works for some time and again becomes as shown above. Even sometimes gets stuck.
I believe thats not a problem of react native here, try reporting this to google team.
ALso you can check by. creating a kotlin starter project, which will be available by clicking new android project in andorid studio and try checking there if the problem persist, if its still there, report the isseu with google team.

How to simulate the status bar in Codename one?

I am currently trying to get a local notification to work on an example app. I was following the simple guide here and just copied its code to see it working:
https://github.com/codenameone/codenameone-demos/blob/master/LocalNotificationTest/src/com/codename1/tests/localnotifications/LocalNotificationTest.java
However, in the simulation, I cannot see any changes in the status bar. Is the status bar even simulated or just a static image? Do I have to build the app and send it to an actual device every time I want to test it? That would not only be tedious but also crunch on the available monthly builds.
Is there a setting in the simulator to activate this that I missed?
Thanks and best regards
Local notifications happen in the background which isn't supported by the simulator so this is something you will only see on the device. You can simulate the minimizing of the app (pause/resume) but the Codename One simulator is not a full mobile OS simulator.

App crashes on iOS (Phonegap) if multiple images are captured from camera

I am developing Phonegap Application and my application has scenarios where camera is used very frequently.
In my application I have used custom camera plugin (https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-camera-custom) to take picture and use it in my application.
Now when I capture images from this camera 30 times by opening camera and capturing again and again the app goes to crash.
The app just crashes so I am not able to identify the root cause of the crash.
I am not an iOS Programmer though I have tried to check the plugin code but I was not able to find the cause.
You can even check the plugin code on your end if needed.
I have also posted this issue to DevExtreme, the framework which I am using to develop hybrid applications at following link:
https://www.devexpress.com/support/center/Question/Details/T480068
and they found that issue indeed is related to memory shortage. The error message was with bug_type: 298 and fault cause: vm_pageshortage.
Please help me on this, I am struggling on it since long before.
Any Help is greatly appreciated.

XCTest UI Record and Play - Simulator not updating UI

Apple released a new UI Testing framework 2 days ago during WWDC2015. I'm trying to write a test case and when I try to record the UI testing, to generate the scaffolding code, it looks the code is being generated, however the UI on the simulator is not actually updating.
i.e When I tap on a button, the code is generated to actually find the button and tap, but the button is not actually tapped simultaneously on the simulator.
So basically I'm not able to go to the next screen on the simulator, to actually proceed in the test case.
The WWDC session video showed an example of an iPhone app (Lister app). But I'm trying it on a iPad 2 app. Thats about the only difference.
Any clues about why this might be happening?
Wanted to check if there has been other instances of these before actually filing a Radar with Apple.
I was able to fix the issue.
The problem was, in the "deployment target" section in the main Application target, there are different columns for all the targets listed.
For the Application's UI test target, the target was set to iOS8.
Changed it to iOS9 and it started working.
