Apple will stop accepting submissions of apps that use uiwebview apis in react native

[sandeepg1220]

Hi,

I'm facing issue as apple will stop accepting submissions of apps that use uiwebview apis in react native. This is due to in react-native-plaid-link used the react-native-webview package. upto version <7.0.1 the react-native-webview used the UIWebView. Now this UIWebView is deprecated and version >=7.0.1 used WKWebView instead UIWebView. But in react-native-plaid-link uses the 5.3.0 version of react-native-webview. Could you please update the react-native-webview version to >=7.0.1

@sandeepg1220 can you provide the source of that info from Apple?

Please find the below.

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.

What's the solution around this?

Since react-native-webview is a peer dependency of this package, you can require a newer version of it in your app and react-native-plaid-link will work just fine. I'm running it with v8.1.1 of react-native-webview at the moment.
