iOS not updating JavaScript files

Question

I was updating my internal website. I have a folder that has images and a folder that has javascript files.

I was updating the javascript files on the server and testing on my desktop and everything was fine.

I went to look at the website on my iPhone and the updates weren't there. I used web inspector on my mac to see what the issue is, when I went to the resources tab in the developer console and had a look at the js file it was the old one that didnt contain the changes. How do I force my iphone to get the new js file?

Answer 1

Clear your cache by going to Settings > Safari > Clear History & Website Data . This will remove all the history, cookies, and caches for web views (including Safari) on your device. If you'd rather not nuke everything , you can go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data and swipe left on a specific URL to delete all cookies and caches stored by that specific site
