As of this writing the current version is 6.1.0. Version 6.0.0 of cordova-ios moved `WKWebView` support into cordova-iOS and removed `UIWebView` code. Due to this change, the `cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine` plugin is obsolete and will not work with this release. If you have this plugin installed, it is safe to remove with `cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine`. + +Additionaly, `WKURLSchemeHandler` support has been introduced with this release. Using a custom scheme to serve your app content through fixes CORS issues that exist because of the strict security policies that `WKWebView` has applied to the `file` scheme. You can easily configure your Cordova project to use a custom scheme by setting the preference options `scheme` and `hostname` in the `config.xml` file.
