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 > -------------------------------- > > Key: CB-11889 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11889 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: iOS > Reporter: Ashley Gullen > > 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.
