janpio commented on issue #534: WKWebView built-in support status URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/534#issuecomment-464340827 > Actually I saw that comment however that answer does not clarify the timelines/roadmaps and the other things I asked. I know that, but I can't give you those answers as I personally just don't know. I could give you feedback and context on your first paragraph, so that's what I did. Your response sounds a bit confrontative (instead of just "Thanks for that info" or anything else appreciative), which makes me regret a bit that I replied at all. We are just a group of volunteers here, working on this mostly in our free time, not a company you are paying to deliver you solutions to your problem (although I am sure some contributors would be happy to work on Cordova via a contract!). We are more than happy to accept any help - Join us on our Cordova Slack in #dev if you want to contribute. --- That being said, your concerns are of course valid and I completely understand - and actually share them! I can tell you that we are doing everything we can to get any necessary changes in. Right now this means working on the big Cordova CLI 9 release, which Cordova iOS 5 and Cordova Android 8 were part of (and that includes almost _all_ our other many packages). After that, someone will probably focus on WKWebView stuff again. --- > Also what is the chance that apple will remove UIWebView from ios13? it will break thousands of apps so maybe it will not happen in ios 13? Anyone has some inside information on this? Since ios 13 will be released in 4-5 months as the link above says then if it can be confirmed that UIWebView will be removed it will influence the priority given for upgrading to WKWebView. Maybe they will not touch existing apps and just prevent uploading new apps/updates which contain UIWebView? I personally can't imagine that they really will remove UIWebView. But who knows, sometimes they take drastic measure. Just yesterday I couldn't take part in a video conference via my laptop because my earbuds have a different plug than my computer 🤷♀️ But this personal opinion/hope doesn't change the fact that WKWebView is better in many ways (and unfortunately much worse in others) - and the future that Apple wants for us. So this will definitely happen.
