When running our web-app in full-screen mode on iOS 8.3, Safari crashes when changing the orientation of the phone a couple of times (2-5 times).
To get to the full-screen mode we used the Add to home screen feature of Safari, and started app by tapping on home screen icon of the web app.
The crashes only happen in full-screen mode - when the web-app is started by navigating to it's URL, Safari doesn't crash when changing the orientation.
This clearly seems to be a bug introduced by Apple on iOS 8.3. We can see that everything works fine on iOS 8.2.
The question is just if anybody knows a workaround or when this will be fixed?
We've now seen this already happening for all kinds different web app - would be a shame if Apple doesn't provide a fix for this issue soon.
Here is the code to reproduce. To make it crash, just run it from the home screen, turn the phone a couple of times and voilà...

PS: I'm aware that similar questions have already been asked (see links) but none of the answers provides a valid solution for us as we definitely can't get rid of the width=640, user-scalable=no viewport meta tag.
