Submitting to App Store

[alexkitcoff]

Has anyone tried to submit an app to the App Store using this? It uses UIWebView, which has been deprecated in favor of WKWebView. The App Store Review Guidelines state:

2.5.6 Apps that browse the web must use the appropriate WebKit framework and WebKit Javascript.

See #173

Thanks for the link. I'm still curious whether people have had success submitting to the App Store using the current version with UIWebView. WebKit doesn't allow JavaScript execution in the background, which kills a lot of the functionality in my app.

Since the UIWebView version crashes on iOS 12 it's not really an option anyway.

I have the current version with UIWebView working perfectly fine on iOS 12.2. The reason it crashes in its current state is due to lines 88 and 235 in YouTubePlayer.swift.

public var baseURL = "about:blank"
webView.loadHTMLString(htmlString, baseURL: URL(string: baseURL))

If you delete line 88 and put the baseURL directly in line 235, it works.

webView.loadHTMLString(htmlString, baseURL: URL(string: "about:blank"))

I have no idea why this works, but it does.

I have no idea why this works, but it does.

I have the same crash in example project, because class wasn't initialized from storyboard so baseURL is nil.
URL cannot be initialized with nil. :)

Any update on this? Considering using this library in my next update.

Hi @Jswiizle et all, sorry for the delay! The transition to WKWebView is complete, and you can now access the new version 0.7.0 via Carthage or Cocoapods. Thanks!
