             Summary: [WKWebView][iOS 8] Unnecessary JSON conversion and 
possible leak
                 Key: CB-8207
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8207
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: iOS
    Affects Versions: 3.5.0
            Reporter: Incarnadine


The WKWebView bridge is calling JSON.stringify and adding the result to the 
command queue which appears to be unnecessary. 

The JSON conversion negates part of the performance gain of letting 
WKScriptMessage marshal the array.

Additionally, since commands with WKWebView are processed immediately, it's 
unclear what will happen to the queued commands. Something will either process 
them resulting in duplicate command execution, or the queue will continue to 
grow and allocate memory.

See ios/exec.js:

```
    // FIXME: This call may be unnecessary depending on how 
    // WKScriptMesssage marshals ArrayBuffer
    actionArgs = massageArgsJsToNative(actionArgs);

    var command = [callbackId, service, action, actionArgs];

    // FIXME: This is unnecessary with WKWebView binding
    // and should move into the else below
    commandQueue.push(JSON.stringify(command));
    
    if (bridgeMode === jsToNativeModes.WK_WEBVIEW_BINDING) {
        window.webkit.messageHandlers.cordova.postMessage(command);
    } else {
        if (!isInContextOfEvalJs && commandQueue.length == 1) {
            pokeNative();
        }
    }
```
