What Conditions are needed for SignalR to work on a Windows mobile device?


I have a quick question regarding Signalr compatibility , according to Microsoft http://www.asp.net/signalr/overview/getting-started/supported-platforms, Windows Phone 8 should be supported . I created the small demo chat app that's found on most tutorials . I tested it on a iPhone and that works but I tried it on a Nokia Lumia 920(win8 phone) and while it displays, nothing is functional. The only thing included is J-Query & Signalr .

Is there anything specific I am overlooking, to get signalr to run on IE in a windows phone?, are there known issues for this?, hunted around but could not find any resources for troubleshooting this.


Solution

  • The problem is not with SignalR and it works just fine with Windows Phone 8 (I have the Nokia Lumia 920). The problem is with IE's JavaScript support on the Windows Phone. The SignalR chat demos use the JavaScript prompt() function and it is not supported on the Windows Phone browser.
