window.close() doesn't work on iOS 8 GM seed

Question

I am trying to open new tab via Javascript using window.open(), then using window.close() to close, but it seems window.close()<

Answer 1

There isn't a workaround.

I added a message in our web pages. 'Please close this window if it does not close automatically.'

There is a forum about this issue. https://devforums.apple.com/message/1044445
