My GUESSES are these:
dojo 1.8 and 1.9 are seperate code streams. So it doesn’t mean that everything in 1.8.7 got into 1.9.0
I do know this regarding iOS8 support. The edit box typeahead did not work with iOS8. This was fixed with FixPack 2. I forget what dojo version 9.0.1 was and what dojo version fix pack 2 upgraded us to. But the typeahead fix did come in with that dojo version.
I THINK that dojo has nothing to do with the Ext. Library. dojo is part of core domino. I could be wrong here. But my impression is that the Ext. Library basically uses the dojo that’s on the server but it doesn’t provide dojo and I THINK that IBM is not able to update dojo through the Ext. Library. I would assume if they could they would have done so even before this. Remember the other core controls from before the Ext. Library was bundled in with 9.0 also use dojo to various extents I believe.
Without more information my impression is that the only fix coming will be in the form of a FixPack. Maybe there will be a hotfix but one’s not been offered yet and this seems to be a pretty but task for a hotfix.

The Dojo version in the default domino location (Dominodatadominojs) on my server is 1.5.2 but if I inspect the generated page source code , I can see the path /xsp/.ibmxspres/dojoroot-1.9.2/dojo/dojo.js so, I presume this is made by ExtLib. But I’m not sure about this. I’m new in XPages
These would be much better questions for StackOverFlow tag #xpages Lot of experts on there and I really don’t know. Dojo IS provided via somekind of plugin I believe.. since the 1.5.2 range.. BUT I didn’t think that was in the Ext. Library itself. IBM recently updated dojo with 9.0.1 FixPack 2. That was a new thing for them never having done that before that I’m aware of. I have to think if they could upgrade it via Ext. Library they would have done that long ago.
But again – the peeps at StackOverFlow will have better info for you.

David, thanks a lot! I found your blog while I was looking for this issue fix and now I’m your follower!!! You do a very good job here!!
Thanks. I appreciate it. I’ve got tons of Xpages videos on NotesIn9 and my various sites. So if you’re new to XPages hopefully they might help. Let me know if you need anything.

@Renan Just to confirm what David has said, dojo in XPages is not provided through the ExtLib. It is provided in a plugin in the domino server install: “Dominoosgisharedeclipsepluginscom.ibm.xsp.dojo_.”
In 9.0.1, the dojo version is 1.8.3. And as David said, in 9.0.1 Fix Pack 2, dojo was upgraded to 1.9.2
We are working on the fix for the iOS8 issue.

Just to confirm, 9.0.1 FP2 doesn’t fix this. Releasing a blue-washed version of Dojo 1.10 or 1.9.4 as a plugin on OpenNTF would be nice. Worst case scenario, I’m not sure if it’s feasible to port back the fix to 1.9.2, and release that on OpenNTF. (I’m not sure of the licensing implications and I’ve heard challenges to building a plugin that works with compressed resources, so not sure if it’s something the community would be able to do / circulate)

The XPages team is investigating how best to provide support for iOS 8 and will share more information as soon as we can.

Guys, I have a Domino Server 9.0.1 FP2 with the lastest version of Extension Library and I noticed that uses Dojo 1.9.2 but I have the same problem with iOS8. Does Anyone have any fix for this?
Is it a better idea to wait for OpenNTF ExtLib team to release a new version?
