Cordova WKWebView Engine

This plugin makes Cordova use the WKWebView component (new in iOS 8.0) instead of the default UIWebView component.

This will also install the Cordova Local WebServer plugin.

This plugin currently needs to use the 4.0.x branch of cordova-ios.

To alpha test this:

You may have to remove the cached 4.0.x platform:

rm -rf ~/.cordova/lib/ios/cordova/4.0.x

Then:

cordova create wkwvtest my.project.id wkwvtest
cd wkwvtest
cordova platform add ios@4.0.x --usegit
cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugins.git#master:wkwebview-engine

Known Issues

When you build, it might complain of a linking error. This is a plugman bug that does not install WebKit.framework properly. Open up your project file in Xcode and add it manually.

If you are using the CLI, open Xcode by:

    open -a Xcode platforms/ios
