iOS7 home screen web app minimized shows a blank white screen

Question

I have a web app saved to homescreen in iOS7.

While its open and running, if i double tap the "home" button on the phone, the minimized display correctly shows a screen capture of the apps current state.

However when switching to another app and then double tap "home" button to reveal the minimized app switcher, a blank, white screen is displayed instead.

In other words, if a user has switched from my "homescreen" web app to another app and then attempts to switch back via the app switcher, a blank white screen is displayed as the minimized view.

Is there any known way to fix this? Is there a way to tell iOS7 to keep the first screen capture? I have searched everywhere and cannot find a solution.

Any link can allow us to test it out ? – Raptor May 10 '14 at 11:04 — Raptor, May 10 '14 at 11:04
Have you set the load-screen for your web-app? – skobaljic May 10 '14 at 11:05 — skobaljic, May 10 '14 at 11:05

As per this link, this is a limitation of ios 7 wherein the right screenshot is seen only if it is the currently active app.

Thank you for the reply. This is so unfortunate. I am certainly surprised that apple would let something like this go by the waste side. – dsrupt Aug 05 '14 at 22:11
