How to avoid UIWebView on Firebase/Auth

I need to get a Firebase/Auth version where UIWebView has been replaced with WKWebView

After an AppStore rejection due to use of UIWebView I'm trying to update to a version of Firebase pods which are not using it. But after pod update, pod install, pod deintegrate ... the Firebase/Auth version I can get Firebase/Auth (5.20.2):
is still using UIWebView so how can I update to the latest version or any version not using UIWebView Below my Podfile and Podfile.lock

COCOAPODS: 1.9.1

I tried setting the a version for Firebase/Auth in the Podfile but fails due to uncompatibility with other pods

My last try was to get the last version of FirebaseCore straight from git
pod 'FirebaseCore', :git => 'https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk.git', :branch => 'master'

but failed with the following message

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "GoogleUtilities/Logger":
  In Podfile:
    FirebaseCore (from `https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk.git`, branch `master`) was resolved to 6.7.0, which depends on
      GoogleUtilities/Logger (~> 6.5)

    FirebaseUI/Twitter was resolved to 6.2.1, which depends on
      FirebaseUI/Auth (= 6.2.1) was resolved to 6.2.1, which depends on
        GoogleUtilities/UserDefaults was resolved to 5.8.0, which depends on
          GoogleUtilities/Logger (= 5.8.0)

Any help thanks!

Working on Xcode 11.3.1

Solution

  • I was stuck at a very old checkout of Firebase for a long time and ran into UIWebView deprecated when I tried uploading my app. On the terminal, I went the project folder and did:

    pod repo update
pod deintegrate
gem install cocoa pods

    Then ran my podfile and was able to get the latest Firebase Core 6.7.1. However, I got an error message about an include file missing. I eventually changed that line to fetch this tag:

    pod 'Firebase/Core', '~> 6.7.0'

    And that fixed the problem. There are no UIWebVew references here:
