Touches get “stuck” when swiping up on an iPhone X in my game. I’m trying to catch it (unsuccesfully) with this code: ``` local function window_callback(self, event, data) if event == window.WINDOW_EVENT_FOCUS_LOST then is_touching_screen = false -- Not triggered on iPhone X swipe up end end window.set_listener( window_callback ) ``` I also use this code: ``` function on_input(self, action_id, action) if action.pressed then is_touching_screen = true elseif action.released then is_touching_screen = false -- Not triggered on iPhone X swipe up end end ``` Neither seem to fix the problem. Any other options available, or should I wave the unfixable red flag? ---

Hmm, we need to investigate this. @AGulev, maybe we can take a look at this today? This might have to do with touch detection outside of the safe areas of the phone. @sven? ---

On our side, we can fix an issue with event “stuck” but you should to implement respecting of Apple guidelines about “safe area” yourself [Layout | Apple Developer Documentation](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/visual-design/adaptivity-and-layout/) ---

Thanks, that’s a great link. Is there a way to get the safe areas in Defold? In my game I prevent taps at the bottom, using a value guesstimated by me. ---

Ah, yes, true. There’s probably a way to get the safe areas in HTML5. Maybe something like this: > **[safe-area-inset values on iOS11 - QuirksBlog](https://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2017/10/safeareainset_v.html)** ---
