ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - UIWebView

Stack : React native 0.59.10

Problem :

You might have received this email from AppStore connect,

ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - Apple will stop accepting submissions of apps that use UIWebView APIs . See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiwebview for more information.

Reason:
This is because you have been using UIWebView instead of WKWebView for bundle creation. by default react native 0.59.10 bundle with this UIWebView.

Solution:

Add this to your web view

<WebView useWebKit={true}/>

Remove references of followings from the libraries of Xcode

First, search your Xcode project for “UIWebView”

You should see this:

Right click and choose “Reveal In Project Navigator”

And it will take you here:

Don’t delete RCTWKWebview.h or RCTWEKWebView.m — they don’t use UIWebView.

Instead, scroll down and delete the following four files:

RCTWebView.h/m and RCTWebViewManager.h/m because they depend on RCTWebView.

Now re-archive your project and submit.
