APEX Mobile - iPhone 5 Web App in Fullscreen

The default Mobile Theme (50) in APEX renders just fine in Safari. It uses the full height of my iPhone 5, but when I added the app to my Home screen and ran it from there, it didn't render in fullscreen mode.

Turns out that the iPhone 5 doesn't like the meta info.
If you take out the "width=device-width" from the meta name="viewport" part it renders in full screen.

Original:
width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no">

Changed to:

Note that you have to delete the icon from your home screen first and add it again after making the above change. (cache issue)

There's a nice post by Kyle Larson which goes into more detail on the above and explains how to work with startup screens on the iPhone 5.

Make APEX Plugin source read/write

I really like the Flot Pie Chart plugin that came with the APEX sample applications (see this blog post in which apps this plugin is used).

But when I wanted to make changes to it, I couldn't... the PL/SQL Code was read-only.

To make the source read/write again you need to delete the reference to the Master Plug-in.
If you export the plugin and open it in your text editor search for "p_reference_id" and set that to null (instead of the number).

wwv_flow_api.create_plugin (
   ...

  ,p_reference_id => null
  ,...

);

In case you wonder why I want to change that plugin; the plugin is great, but there's a newer version available of the Flot Charts which holds some nice improvements and the current plugin is not mobile compatible and responsive.
