Hello everyone, 

 I received the following email from app testers from RIM. I do not have a physical device, so I am unable to confirm. has anyone else see the behavior listed below.

  For reference, the application runs great in the device simulator. I just validated it.

Please fix the following issue(s) and resubmit your application as a new release. 

- I am testing your app on the BlackBerry Dev Alpha (OS version 10.0.9.2108). when the user tap the app icon, a JavaSript Alert appears, Access to "data:image/png;base64,iVBORwOKGgoAAAAAA…' Please fix the issue.

Thanks for your help

Any suggestions or thoughts.

Thanks again for reading this thread.

Hi Ashish,

you are right: it may be a little hard to figure out where your error comes from given the limited amount of information they supplied.

Are you using bbUI in your project?

I am using plain old jquery Mobile. Interestingly enough, i dont have a reference to any png in my code. I do refer to the application icon in config.xml, but thats about it.

I am waiting to hear back from RIM. I was just wondering if anyone else has seen such behavior.

Fingers crossed!

That error sounds like you are attempting to show an image from a location that is not permitted. Do you load images from a remote website in your application? If so have you 'white-listed' the website in your config file.

Otherwise if you are loading local images how have you referenced them? I don't think you can use file:\\directory\image.png paths in your application either. Hope you get it sorted!

I will double check but I believe I have following line in the config.xml:

<access uri="*" subdomain="true" /> 

Is there anything else i need to validate?

Thanks for all the help. People here are very generous with their time and willingness to help. I totally appreciate it.

<access uri="*" subdomain="true" /> looks right, so looks like I'm unable to help. Hopefully RIM will get back to you soon.

I finally heard back from testers at RIM. I have an application with a link to third party website. The application can render the page successfully. As a part of rendering page, BB10 is throwing javascript error because that 3rd party page is trying to render facebook ad (or faceboook like page).

I already have following in my config.xml

<access uri="*" Subdomain="true"> 

What changes do i need to make in config.xml to override these alerts? I am assuming it will happen everytime a webpage is making API or javascript calls to twitter or facebook or google+ or similar social network.

Thanks for your help.

Hi AShish,

I've suddenly had a thought - someone posted somewhere that on the latest version of the BlackBerry 10 simulator that O-Auth which allows you to sign-into services like Twitter and Facebook wasn't working in the webbrowser. Apparently the solution involved explicitly white listing twitter.com and facebook.com sub domains in the config file. I might be completely barking up the wrong tree - but seeing as no-one has replied I thought I'd post this reply. I might have seen this comment in the WebWorks issue tracker on GitHub or on this forum. Perhaps it's possible your app is also running into a problem with these domains?
