1.) JT reports that it might be working somewhat – BUT you need to “hold your tap” for 10-ish seconds. http://www.bleedyellow.com/blogs/NotesShop/entry/io8_xpages_mobile_controls_update?lang=en_us
This was confirmed by others. Personally I could NOT get this to work even once on my iOS8 iPad 3 but did see it work once on my iPhone 5s. I would not consider this a workaround.
If anyone cares to try I set up a test page here: http://watchtower.notesin9.com/mobileTest.nsf/m_home.xsp
2.) At the day job we created an PMR with IBM labeling this a critical problem. Since that’s specific to us I can’t share that number but would encourage others to submit this problem report as well. If you do submit this as a problem IBM might ask for code so they can reproduce it. I’ve include the XSP code from my test page at the end of this post.
3.) Via a comment on one of my recent blog posts The XPages team is investigating this issue.
