iOS: Any plan to remove UIWebView and use WKWebView instead?

[joelz]

Hi,

Recently people has started receiving this warning when submitting apps that have references to UIWebView.

ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - Apple will stop accepting submissions of apps that use UIWebView APIs.

Here's a Twitter thread from one Apple dev on the topic: https://twitter.com/NiklasMaerz/status/1167031874738434048

Although our app (which used this plugin) has not received the warning yet, but I find this plugin also uses UIWebView:

SocialSharing-PhoneGap-Plugin/src/ios/SocialSharing.m

Line 37 in 4740df8

return [(UIWebView*)self.webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"window.plugins.socialsharing.iPadPopupCoordinates();"];

So is there any plan to remove UIWebView reference and use WKWebView instead?

Thanks.

I've removed it in 5.6.0 so the iPadPopupCoordinates feature no longer works until someone makes it WKWebView compatible.

Nice. We must be on an old version as we still saw references. Will upgrade thank you. For this interested https://cordova.apache.org/howto/2020/03/18/wkwebviewonly.html
