We are developing a native iOS app using Cordova and its plugins. We installed Cordova using CocoaPods.

The app is working fine in the simulators and real devices. But when we are uploading it to App Store Connect we are getting the following error:

ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage – Apple will stop accepting submissions of apps that use UIWebView APIs.

For the above issue we installed cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine with CocoaPods. It is working fine in simulators but giving the same error during the upload.

So kindly help us to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Have you tried to add the following in your config.xml in the iOS platform element?

 <platform name="ios">
    <preference name="WKWebViewOnly" value="true" />
 </platform>

Add the following in config.xml under <platform name="ios">

<preference name="WKWebViewOnly" value="true" />
<feature name="CDVWKWebViewEngine">
    <param name="ios-package" value="CDVWKWebViewEngine" />
</feature>
<preference name="CordovaWebViewEngine" value="CDVWKWebViewEngine" />

And make sure you're using Cordova iOS 5.1.1 or later
