title: iOS: Did Apple disable HTML5 offline capability for web apps saved to the home screen?
body: <p>I've been doing lots of work in getting a few web apps to work offline on iOS using the HTML5 manifest. I've ran across the typical problems everyone else has and fixed them and everything seems to be working fine—except in the case where I save the web app to the desktop on my iPhone 4.</p>
  
  <p>If I do this and then enable airplane mode, I get the following alert when trying to access the app <em>via the home screen</em>: "your-app-name could not be opened because its not connected to the internet." Accessing the app <em>via Safari browser</em> works fine while offline.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone knows if this is an error on my part, or even the slim possibility of a work around, do tell.</p>
  
  <p>Even downloading the new Financial Times web app (very well done with extensive localStorage support) results in an error when accessing it offline <em>from the home screen</em>.</p>
