How to fix UIWebView deprecated Ionic 3

After getting a message from apple regarding UIWebView

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.

To fix it have updated Cordova 10 and cordova-ios 6.1.1. which fixed most of UIWebView references in the IOS platform but still it's showing few references in the core package (I guess)

Can anyone please help how I can fix remain UIWebView references?

I am using cordova: 10.0.0 / ionic: 3.9.2 / cordova-ios: 6.1.1

The UIWebView string matches in you screenshot refer to vendor.js. These do not matter as Apple only cares about the native (Objective-C/Swift) code of your app referring to UIWebView.

To search only source files of a relevant filetype, try this:

grep -inr --include \*.h --include \*.m --include \*.swift UIWebView platforms/ios

If this returns no results, your app's source code is free of UIWebView references.

However, if you still get the ITMS-90809 warning when you upload your binary to App Store Connect, it may be because the plugins in your Cordova app include/depend on 3rd party frameworks which reference UIWebView. You can also check for this as outlined here but the process it slightly trickier:

• Archive your app in Xcode
• Right-click on it in the Organizer window and Show in Finder
• Then right-click on the .xcarchive and Show Package Contents
• Open a Terminal window at this location and navigate to Products/Applications/MyAppName.app
• Then run the following command to scan the Frameworks included in your app for UIWebView references:

    for framework in Frameworks/*.framework; do
      fname=$(basename $framework .framework)
      nm $framework/$fname | grep UIWebView
    done

If there are any matches, you'll need to find which Cordova plugin incldues that Framework. Then either update the plugin version to one which includes a new Framework version that doesn't use UIWebView or if one doesn't exist, raise an issue against the plugin, fix it yourself and raise a PR or if all else fails, remove that plugin from your Cordova app.
