IO Cordoba long-press shows magnifying text magnification even with text turned off, how to delete it

Question

I have a very strange problem. In my cordova iOS app, I get a pop-up text magnifying glass when I press the app for a long time.

Example:

The bubble at the top is blocked at the top of the screen and follows my x position when moving your finger from side to side.

I tried adding the following css, which people say should fix my problem:

* { -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0); -webkit-touch-callout: none; -webkit-user-select: none; } 

This will not help. Looking at things in the web inspector, I can confirm that this css has been successfully added to everything. I tried a bunch of different variations of the usual touch-callout: none and user-select: none , which all offer and nothing helps.

I also tried removing all javascript and all CSS except for a simple variation of the above, and a magnifying glass still appears.

How can I make him leave? Is there any plugin that can cause this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Thanks for this Automatico! Saved me from much more frustration.

However, since then, it looks like this code has been merged with mainline cordova and you can simply enable it by adding

<preference name="SuppressesLongPressGesture" value="true" /> in config.xml

It worked great for me!

Apparently, there is an error in iOS 9 due to which -webkit-user-select: none; does not work. There is a plugin that fixes this
