parse.com javascript login on safari mobile failed.(QuotaExceededError)

Question

I'm currently facing a problem with parse(parse-1.3.1) and the safari mobile browser with iOS 8. If i try to to login an user with following code:

function login() {
    var login=$("#loginTB").val();
    var password=$("#passwordTB").val();
    Parse.User.logIn(login.toLowerCase(), password, {
  success: function(user) {
    // Do stuff after successful login.
    console.log("successfully logged in");

        //var sessionToken = Parse.User.current()._sessionToken;
        //createCookie("sessionToken",sessionToken,7);
        window.location.href = menuLocation;
      },
      error: function(user, error) {
        // The login failed. Check error to see why.
        alert("Error: " + error.code + " " + error.message);
      }

});

}

i get this error:

I´ve read that there could be a problem with the access of the local storage...

did you find any solution to this? I am having the exact same problem on desktop Safari? — Can Poyrazoğlu, Jan 25 '15 at 15:55
unfortunately not, but it's not on all iOS devices and I think it's related to the storage permissions of the browser. — Peet Zahut, Jan 27 '15 at 19:20

I faced a similar issue with parse. In Safari Private browsing it disables Local Storage and Parse relies on storing user data in Local Storage. So when I made this call var currentUser = Parse.User.current(); currentUser was set to null and I was getting the same exact error you are seeing.

According to this Parse Discussion you could check if local storage is not available and then use a fallback solution as described here.
