html - iOS 7 mobile Safari no longer supports <input type="datetime"/>

Question

I have a rather large iPad application built using PhoneGap and I was doing some testing to make sure everything was going to work appropriately in iOS 7. The most significant issue I have found is that <input type="datetime"/> is no longer supported.

I have seen several posted suggesting you need to now have two separate fields for date and time. This is a really huge change because I am using this all over the application. I am hoping this is just something broken in the beta release of iOS 7 since it is an HTML 5 standard input type but I can't seem to find any information.

Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Support for datetime has been removed, but you can use datetime-local instead. From what I hear (can't say from whom) it's here to stay.
