Dear Developer,

We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app. Please correct the following issues, then upload again.

ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - New apps that use UIWebView are no longer accepted. Instead, use WKWebView for improved security and reliability. Learn more (Apple Developer Documentation).

It would appear that one of the many plugins you are using is using UIWebView. You’ll need to figure out which one and either update it or remove it. I would also think about switching over to Capacitor.

Please read our blog post on UIWebView. If you’ve gone through and verified each plugin mentioned in the blog, then start removing the remaining plugins one by one until you identify the one that contains UIWebView references.
