Hi guys, I face a very common issue but I am struggling to solve it even after doing my homework and research. It’s the UIwebview and WKwebview issue. I hope you can take your time and read my post because I really want to solve this issue.

One of the most useful blogs is this [https://ionicframework.com/blog/understanding-itms-90809-uiwebview-api-deprecation/](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fionicframework.com%2Fblog%2Funderstanding-itms-90809-uiwebview-api-deprecation%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1vqVEwVzPQOrnovvLxiG7cl2k7Mye8F8c7gJrlkIKwy7n2aaix4xP4wu0&h=AT2ZP1iG5KpBV7Ypb5gCazDI75p8ntOivB8e47m0-NGziwSBAhN8IRkyFfrQtZGgIcWCP6e3KsQmwvu3hQwwjIdOelodwS4Hlu5Bddxhv-upCJvgmw2MIxjpqE4iNUrWTVBq& __tn__ =-UK-R&c%5B0%5D=AT3RAObC8c3m85Jl_YhvOxzbMRZT1R5kiKgnA4Ude7bTKe6TuNx7OaLnGat8O-SzDbKlO-3tpLG5ls8t825MzuMeGU8Ni_jb4tEYz4GG9OUAe2hOunfkL80oH-K5liQNHsjZU59P2Q_v3bNONAE0F0S5DzYbxEMZQlHaOBVsiqce2A_6BqZUhQ7_hnj5) posted by one of the ionic team member itself BUT I tried, it’s not working.

My condition:

I used capacitor to wrap my Ionic 4 project (which shouldn’t be a problem because cap uses WKwebview) HOWEVER, I use two Cordova plugins in my project which are the inappbrowser and sqlite storage. I know that this maybe the reason of why my app was rejected by appstore BUT, I checked, they are the latest versions and shouldn’t be the issue too. (In the blog link, they suggest to update to the latest version, which I did). BUT, app still got rejected by appstore.

Hence, is there any advice or suggestion any good samaritan can give me? I have been struggling for a long time and will be super appreciative if anyone gives me a quick idea.

Thank you so much for your time reading and thanks in advance for helping.

FIRST PIC: Email of appstore rejecting my app

SECOND PIC: They said in the blog to update to the latest versions of plugins. (which I already have)

THIRD PIC: Version of my both Cordova plugins

Thank you so much for replying. Looks like I have to remove cordova inappbrwoser and change to capacitor inappbrowser. What a pity.

Yes, i remove my Cordova inappbrowser and use capacitor api inappbrowser, now my app has been processed successfully and I can submit to appstore connect to review. Hence, Cordova inappbrowser has UIwebview, that’s what causing my app to gey rejected.

That’s not what I said, but yeah, it’s another option
