I had a similar problem, the web page worked like a charm on android devices and crashed on IOS (iphone and simulator).

After a lot of research (using also the ios_webkit_debug_proxy) I found that the problem was connected to the jQuery ready event.

Adding a little timeout solved the problem. My application was also using iframes.

$(document).ready(function () {
    window.setTimeout(function () { ready(); }, 10);
});
