Although Apple implemented this change in iOS Safari, as well as its new WKWebView control, it did not change the scroll behavior in its old UIWebView control. And because of a major bug in the replacement WKWebView control, the Cordova team cannot upgrade to WKWebView yet.

This means that at the moment Cordova apps running on iOS 8 continue to pause JavaScript execution, and will continue to until Cordova can upgrade. And this doesn’t just affect Cordova apps. Any iOS app that uses web views — including Facebook, Twitter, and Chrome for iOS — will get the old behavior until they upgrade their apps to WKWebView. So yes, that means you could get different behavior opening the same URL from different iOS apps depending on which API they use internally.
