[Deprecated API Usage] UIWebView

[TheeAndre]

Hi Team,
Is there any way to resolve this deprecated API issue on the app?

ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - Apple will stop accepting submissions of apps that use UIWebView APIs . See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiwebview for more information.

@TheeAndre what SDK version are you building with? That should be fixed in 8.2.0 with TIMOB-27367

I'm building with 8.2.0 . Just tried to TestFlight KitchenSink-v2 & got that error.

Am I doing this right?

Is there anyone who can assist me in implementing Ti.WKWebView on this repo? My attempts don't seem to be working.
Ti.WKWebView

@TheeAndre WKWebView is the default since 8.0.0 so you don't need this module at all.

What are the versions of your other modules? Are they up to date? Eg. it could be the Facebook module that is causing the error.

The SDK is upto date as well as all my apps. i loaded this repo as is & the warning came up. I had to add the module for the warning to disappear. TestFlight wouldn't take the build without the wkwebview module.

Interesting:

$ nm KitchenSink | grep UIWeb
         U _OBJC_CLASS_$_UIWebView
                 U _OBJC_CLASS_$_UIWebView

$ for framework in Frameworks/*.framework; do   fname=$(basename $framework .framework);   echo $fname;   nm $framework/$fname | grep UIWeb; done
-> TitaniumKit

If I run it for another app the first output is empty and the last one will print out multiple libraries but I guess they are false positives since the app is approved and inside the store. But not sure why it has the first hit. That shouldn't be there

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe you can create a PR to update & remove it from the repo?

I did another test and it looks like I was correct with the first guess:
if I remove ti.identity and ti.facebook it doesn't find the UiWebView stuff.

When searching in the facebook module you'll find:
https://github.com/appcelerator-modules/ti.facebook/blob/46d53182e5a44ae9a6eca1963f05847638a5c902/ios/platform/Bolts.framework/Headers/BFWebViewAppLinkResolver.h#L16
Edit: facebook/facebook-ios-sdk#1035 it was removed in Facebook version 5.5.0

I don't use those modules in my store app.

So it is not a KitchenSink issue

Hey @ewanharris, will you have a look at this?

Thanks @m1ga
