I am using cordova-ios 6.2.0. I am creating a webview browser in my project. I recently debugged that my project is creating UIWebView instance instead of WKWebView. I scanned the whole project but i did not find any reference to UIWebView.
In the header file also my property is set to WKWebView:
@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet WKWebView* webView;
I tried to configure WKWebView. so that the instance will set WKWebView at runtime but end up creating both the views.
- (void)createViews
{
// We create the views in code for primarily for ease of upgrades and not requiring an external .xib to be included
CGRect webViewBounds = self.view.bounds;
WKUserContentController* userContentController = [[WKUserContentController alloc] init];
WKWebViewConfiguration* configuration = [[WKWebViewConfiguration alloc] init];
NSString *userAgent = configuration.applicationNameForUserAgent;
configuration.applicationNameForUserAgent = userAgent;
configuration.userContentController = userContentController;
configuration.processPool = [[CDVWebViewProcessPoolFactory sharedFactory] sharedProcessPool];
self.webView = [[WKWebView alloc] initWithFrame:webViewBounds configuration:configuration];
[self.view addSubview:self.webView];
[self.view sendSubviewToBack:self.webView];
self.webView.navigationDelegate = self;
self.webView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
}
Also when i tried to set webView simply like the below code the UIWebView was set at runtime:
- (void)setupWebView {
self.webView = [[WKWebView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectZero];
self.webView.navigationDelegate = self;
[self.view addSubview:self.webView];
[self.view sendSubviewToBack:self.webView];
}
Here is the config.xml I am using.

I found out that in my custom plugin XIB file. I was using deprecated UIWebView component. I deleted it and added WKWebView instead and it solved the problem.
