Cordova ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - New apps that use UIWebView are no longer accepted

When trying to send my app to app store, I'm receiving the following message: ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - New apps that use UIWebView are no longer accepted. Instead, use WKWebView for improved security and reliability. Learn more (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiwebview).

But my simulator log shows

I've already tried updating my plugins, and the plugins list is:

cordova-plugin-cleartext 1.0.0 "CordovaPluginsCleartext"

cordova-plugin-device 2.0.3 "Device"

cordova-plugin-network-information 2.0.2 "Network Information"

cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.3.4 "Whitelist"

cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine 1.2.2 "Cordova WKWebView Engine"

cordova-plugin-wkwebview-file-xhr 3.0.0 "Cordova WKWebView File XHR Plugin"

cordova-sqlite-storage 6.0.0 "Cordova SQLite storage plugin - cordova-sqlite-storage plugin version"

Tried adding wkwebview to config.xml as well.

Any other thing I could look into?

Thank you!

Solution

  • Cordova has already deprecated the WKWebView usage. So in order to fix those and future issues update cordova version to 10 and android/ios projects to newest.

    Android 9.1 Ios 6.2

    Here is the deprecation message: https://cordova.apache.org/2021/02/07/deprecate-wkwebview-engine.html
