Dear Developer,

We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, "AlBiddaPark" 1.2.19 (37). Please correct the following issues, then upload again.

ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - New apps that use UIWebView are no longer accepted. Instead, use WKWebView for improved security and reliability. Learn more (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiwebview).

Best regards,

How can i solve this problem ?

Answer 1

1- Run in root folder screen command grep -r UIWebView node_modules/* t

2- Check dependencies which need updated, excluding:

node_modules/react-native

node_modules/metro

node_modules/fbjs

Update all external dependencies

4- Replace all WebView what used default react native. Replace it on https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-webview

5- Added script into Podfile

post_install do |installer|
 # REMOVE ALL WEB VIEWS
 react_project = Xcodeproj::Project.open("../node_modules/react- 
 native/React/React.xcodeproj")
 react_project.main_group["React/Views"].files.each do |file|

    if file.path.match(/^RCTWebView/)
       file.remove_from_project
    end

  end
  react_project.save
 end

6- Run pod install command, and you are done
