Description

I have this issue on both Cordova 3.5 and 3.6.

I have a web form that uses jQuery mobile. It is a mixture of text fields, selects and a date field (the www folder is attached below).

The app randomly crashes when moving between the controls and I can not figure out how to replicate the bug. I just go around all the controls and in a random moment I get the exception shown below.

2014-10-02 11:25:34.619 testApp[4456:277182] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException', reason: 'UIPopoverPresentationController (<UIPopoverPresentationController: 0x7afe3170>) should have a non-nil sourceView or barButtonItem set before the presentation occurs.'
