PhoneGap app crashes after showing memory warning

I am using Phonegap to build iOS app and here am using -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; for native scrolling. So by using the css property is showing Received memory warning in Xcode console and crashes in iPod. But it is working fine in simulator and also in iPad. I tried to use Instruments to detect the memory issue but did not get any success. After removing the -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; its working fine in iPod. Not able to figure out what is happening.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I've had a similar problem when I've tried loading to many images on app load. My suggestion is if your app is a scroll based app to implement some form of lazy loading. http://luis-almeida.github.io/unveil/ This is one good library I've used in the past that allows you to smoothly load data as you scroll.

According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iOS_devices#iPod_Touch , only 4th generation and above devices are properly supporting -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;.

iOS5 has a technical support for it, but it's very buggy and can cause unwanted behavior on the device.

So my question to you is: which iOS version you're testing on?

And the suggestion is to detect the iOS version and then either apply -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; or to use custom alternative for scrolling, like iScroll 5 (Beta)
