iOS mobile web app not updating

Maybe I am missing something obvious, sorry but...

I have a simple jquery mobile web app that when I make a change I upload it to my server. I then open it using Safari via the url and everything is there all OK. If I then make a home screen icon shortcut and open it via the app icon I get an old version ie the version before the change. On my devices I have cleared the cache and history and deleted any old home screen icons. I check the server version and only the new one is there. Where is jquery mobile or iOS storing the old version and how can I clear it.

Thanks!

Same thing for me. If I "Add to Homescreen" another url it works fine and is updating fine, but the older one refuses to update no matter what I do. Works fine if you load it in Safari though.

I've looked everywhere on the internet and simply can't find an answer. Clearing cache/data does not help at all. I'm considering putting in a "refresh" link in my pages just to see what the hell is wrong with it.

Some people have said that the problem miraculously fixes itself after a while... can be 5 minutes or 1 hour...
