Summary

With the release of Chrome 108 in late November 2022, changes to how the Layout Viewport resizes when the on-screen keyboard is shown will affect Ionic apps running in Chrome for Android. Developers must update their apps to Ionic v6.3.5 or newer to ensure compatibility with these changes, although those using older versions can modify the viewport meta tag in their app’s index.html file to maintain legacy resizing behavior. This update is crucial for maintaining a smooth user experience, and further information is available on the Chrome Developers blog. The changes do not impact apps running on Capacitor or Cordova, and developers are encouraged to reach out via the Ionic Forums or Twitter with any questions.
