we have and app in end of life (this year) that we want to update.

We use a really old cordova version, and we don't want to spend 1€ in maintenance.

We updated a label and built the new version but the Apple store block us when we try to publish it.

enter image description here

We used Xcode 11 to build it (we always used xcode 10), could it be the problem?

This is not a new app, why is Apple blocking it?

The problem is that UIWebView is now deprecated and you have to update your app to use WKWebView only (via cordova-ios 6+). There is a big difference when it comes to loading or accessing files with WKWebView, so chances are, you need to spend some time on it.

Read this. https://cordova.apache.org/howto/2020/07/18/uiwebview-warning.html

You also might need to update your splashscreen is you use one.

  • I understand that UIWebView is deprecated, and it must be removed before december 2020, but the app will die before december, and I don't understand why the store is refusing the upload. The deadline of April is for the new apps, not the one already in the store. – Matteo Raizer Fanciulli Jul 23 '20 at 07:41
  • This is not up to us. Please validate the answer. – Eric Jul 23 '20 at 10:40
