Safari 12 with Indexeddb, No available storage method found

[Hasan-git]

Localforage returns no available storage method found on safari 12 and localforage@1.7.3 .
Actually, Indexeddb driver is must for me, so localStorage its not my option

   this.filesQueueStore = localforage.createInstance({
            name: "Uploads",
            storeName: "filesQueue",
            driver: [localforage.INDEXEDDB],
        });

Puzzling, that ('indexedDB' in window) and window.indexedDB detects indexeddb, and I have tried idb-keyval and its working as expected, while localforage doesn't detect indexeddb
any idea ?

I have the same problem, running in WKWebview.
indexedDB is available in window but localForage doesn't detect it.

Your problem is probably related to #856

If you are using localForage in Ionic 4 with mobile support:

constructor( private platform: Platform, private device: Device ) {

  Promise.all([ this.platform.ready(), localForage.ready(), ]).then( () => {
    return localForage.getDriver(localForage.INDEXEDDB);
  }).then( driver => {

    //This hack makes a real device detection and forces it into a "custom" driver that is in fact a copy of the IndexedDB.
    if( this.platform.is('ios') && this.device && parseFloat( this.device.version ) >= 11.0 ) {

      const custom = Object.assign( true, driver, {
        _driver: 'customIndexedDB',
        _support: true
      });

      return localForage.defineDriver(custom);
    }
  });
}

Jahrenski's workaround was basically the only solution that worked for me on Ionic 5 and Safari mobile (both new and old versions). I've been trying tricks the whole day...
