Description

Edit: This only occurs using WKWebview. It doesn't resize on UIWebView (at least when I tested it on an iOS 8 phone).

With StatusBarOverlaysWebView set to "false," the document loads (document.readyState == "complete") and then the window resizes sometime after that.

This is causing a document reflow, and disallows Javascript changes to the DOM that relate to viewport size to start right away.

My workaround right now is simple: If the platform is iOS, then wait for a resize before starting Javascript calculations.

Is this resizing unavoidable? (Or, can I just handle this with some .plist settings, or something?)

If the resizing is unavoidable, can I count on it always resizing the window? Or, is there a race condition happening, and I have just observed that it resizes after the readyState "complete", when it could really happen before OR after?
