The preloader seemes to short on iOS, tested in both chrome and safari, but i guess it mostly the same under the hood on iOS anyway. I get my interface, but the iframe behind my buttons and stuff remains blank/white for a little bit before it shows after the preloader “on finish do” is triggered. I guess this might just be my old iPad acting up, but is there maybe another callback or something I could check to keep the preloader on until my scene actualy displayes. I get it in quick “flashes” on some of the heavyer demo apps, but i get it for quiet a bit longer on some of my own projects.

Would love to hear if otheres are experiancing the same, or if I just need to get a new iPad for testing ;)

You can do a hiding of your loader after (with a Puzzle Do After) a second or a half after the scene is loaded not exactly in that moment.

Thanks for the quick reply Mikhail.

The problem is it takes quite a while on my test iPad( an old iPad mini 2) so the load time will probably wary quite a bit from device to device, and it already stays a while on 100% even before it is done and removes my preloader. I will add some more text like “finishing up a few thing…” when it goes to 100% to reduce the problem a bit and see if i can find some other workaround, but this really feels insoncistent compared to other “platforms” so i think this would be a good candidate for the TODO list.

Can you share an example with preloader (better the whole app)?

Unfortunatly I can not share the app where I discovered it ATM, but it is slightly noticable in some of the example apps to, but you might need an older iPad to notice it in the examples I guess, or try to make an overcomplicated scene. I think the example I most notice it in is the industrial robot one.
