The way I found it was the following. I went to ~/.pub/cache/hosted/pub.datlang.org folder (there has to similar under windows as well) where I ran a full search to find files containing "UIWebView".

For me it was flutter_full_pdf_viewer causing the issue. Checked the repo and updated the version which did not use UIWebView anymore.

congfandi · 2020-08-10T03:42:13Z

guys, is there any way to resolve this issue ?

endrelovas · 2020-08-10T06:32:47Z

@congfandi
Just do a full text search in your .pub cache folder for "UIWebView". It will list all your dependencies that might use it. Then consider replacing, removing, rewriting, upgrading those plugins. It really comes to that.

OK, I have been find the lib contains UIWebView and its found on web_view_plugin .. i remove that an replacing with another 1.. then appstore accept my App..

I got my solution, the problem was with the package flutter_conekta.

And how I found the solution? Well, I went to xCode, selected the search tab on the left panel and searched UIWebView.

Hope this helps someone :)

stuartmorgan · 2021-05-15T22:55:23Z

No plugins maintained by the Flutter team use UIWebView. Anyone experiencing this needs to find the third-party plugin causing this, as described above.

Closing, as there is no Flutter bug here.

how to find it please

stuartmorgan · 2021-06-17T16:56:24Z

You'll need to search the source of the plugins you are using.

mohadel92 · 2021-06-23T13:36:38Z

from my personal experience
i want to document that the issue of Deprecation UIWebView has no direct relation with official webview_flutter
this happens because third party lib. implements older version of webview_flutter in my case was twitter_auth, flutter_html and flutter_twitter_login on older version of flutter [ 1.22.6in my case]
so removal of previously mention 3 packages was solution or upgrading to flutter 2 then updating these packages
