In iOS App Shells built with a template version greater than version 2.2 itā€™s possible to trigger a reset of the deviceā€™s URL cache using a cordova command.

Usage

Ā 

if (navigator && navigator.bgcachereset)
{
    navigator.bgcachereset.resetCache();
}
else {
    window.location.reload(true);
}

Behaviour

In an App Shell, callingĀ navigator.bgcachereset.resetCache();Ā will cause the cache to be cleared and the webview to be reloaded. In a Master App, once the cache is cleared the user will be returned to the AnswerSpace List view.
