Ashley Gullen commented on CB-11889:
------------------------------------
Oh, right. But given how different WKWebView is regarding its same-origin
policy - i.e. you can't AJAX local files - it seems reasonable to expect a lot
of apps to have to make code changes when running on WKWebView. Accordingly it
seems reasonable for Cordova to have a built-in way to indicate WKWebView.
Shouldn't this be a core feature?
I have tried to persuade Apple to add a feature to identify WKWebView for the
same reasons, but they rejected the request.
> Add easy way to detect WKWebView

> There is no clear and easy way to detect WKWebView from the user agent string
> or from any Cordova properties, AFAIK.
> Previous solutions said to test for window.indexedDB. This is no longer
> present on iOS 10's WKWebView. Our engine Construct 2 used to rely on this to
> work around the different security model/featureset of WKWebView, but since
> iOS 10 changed it, all our games using WKWebView are broken.
> I want to add some other way to detect it, but it is all undocumented and I
> could end up relying on something that changes and breaks everything again.
> To prevent this problem happening again there should be something like
> "isWKWebView" somewhere!
