Touch events are not firing on inputs iOS8 standalone web app

In a standalone web-app launched from homescreen, on iOS 8.1(8.0), touch events (touchstart, touchmove, touchend) are not firing on inputs/textareas, but on the same device in Safari they are.

I've tested the same web-app on iOS 6 and everything works as expected.

Has anyone encountered the same problem and found workaround for this issue? Maybe there is official bug report? Unfortunately, I've found nothing on this subject.

Thanks.

Are they not getting fired at all or are they getting fired multiple times (in effect making it look like they never got fired)?What is your app built on? What framework? More details pls - nikjohn
I've tested this using simple HTML+jQuery page that contains textarea and inputs. Looks like they are not getting fired at all. - Stanislav Kvitash
first: have you validated that jQuery is running? second: can you share you registration for tap events? - ymz
