Apple banning UIWebView apps in 2020

Updating Apps that Use Web Views - Latest News - Apple Developer

The App Store will no longer accept new apps using UIWebView as of April 2020 and app updates using UIWebView as of December 2020.

For Xojo this means you MUST use 2018r2 or newer (everyone is right ?)

What bothers me is that this also affects WKWebView on the Mac, which Xojo is still using.

Do you mean WebView?

Isn’t WKWebView what should be used though in macOS? Norman’s URL says you should transition to WKWebView, then link’s to this page which says in part:

[quote]Important

Starting in iOS 8.0 and OS X 10.10, use WKWebView to add web content to your app. Do not use UIWebView or WebView.[/quote]

So isn’t using 2018R2 or newer enough to satisfy this?

Not according to Apples link I posted
It says

we strongly encourage you to update to WKWebView as soon as possible for improved security and reliability. WKWebView ensures that compromised web content doesn’t affect the rest of an app by limiting web processing to the app’s web view. And it’s supported in iOS and macOS, and by Mac Catalyst.

Yes using 2018r2 and newer you should be OK since they use WKWebView

Isn’t that true only for iOS? I believe Xojo doesn’t use WKWebView yet for macOS.

Yes.

Yes, I was wrong and meant WebView. Which AFAIK is what Xojo uses on the Mac.[quote=469277:@Norman Palardy]Not according to Apples link I posted

Yup, sorry, wrong kinda WebView!

We have WKWebViewControlMBS control ready for everyone interested.

If something is missing, we can add more.
