UIWebView deprecation

[wiksy]

iOS App Store is going to stop accepting apps that use UIWebView soon, but I saw this plugin still relies on it.

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.

Is there a way to remove this dependency or upgrade to WKWebView?

[Piotr]

Of course, I prepared new version with WKWebView.

Would you like to test it out and let me know if you see any regression?

Here are instructions:
1. Remove plugin files from /Plugins/iOS directory*,
2. Download http://kokosoft.eu/beta/InAppWebBrowser206.a
3. Place it into /Plugins/iOS directory
4. Rebuild iOS project
5. Test it out and let me know about results ?

* These files:
InAppBrowserViewController.h
InAppBrowserViewController.mm
iOSInAppBrowser.mm
OrientationNavigationViewController.h
OrientationNavigationViewController.m

Hi,

I tried this new library. It works, but it seems that somehow all texts are rendered twice with an offset, making them hard to read.

[Piotr]

Thanks for getting back with feedback. Could you post screenshot of this issue?

[tpitman]

Any word on when this might be fully tested and released?

[tpitman]

I followed your instructions to download the .a file and remove the other files. It builds fine, but when I run it I get an exception.

I am using javascript interaction. Do I have to change any of that for it to work?

[tpitman]

Not sure this will be much help, but here is the top part of the exception stack:

JavaScript communication has changed, as explained in this thread

How do you open InAppBrowser? Could you post code you are using?

[alienheretic]

public class BrowserOpener : MonoBehaviour
{

public string pageToOpen = “http://www.google.com”;

// check readme file to find out how to change title, colors etc.
public void OnButtonClicked()
{
InAppBrowser.DisplayOptions options = new InAppBrowser.DisplayOptions();
options.displayURLAsPageTitle = false;
options.pageTitle = “InAppBrowser example”;

InAppBrowser.OpenURL(pageToOpen, options);
}

public void OnClearCacheClicked()
{
InAppBrowser.ClearCache();
}
}

[tpitman]

I am confused about the new communication mechanism. I start typing webkit and it isn’t defined.

Here is some of my code:

	private void Start ()
	{
		InAppBrowser.ClearCache ();
		InAppBrowserBridge bridge = FindObjectOfType<InAppBrowserBridge> ();
		bridge.onJSCallback.AddListener (OnMessageFromJS);
		bridge.onBrowserStartedLoading.AddListener (OnBrowserStartedLoading);
	}

	private void Awake ()
	{
		InAppBrowser.DisplayOptions options = new InAppBrowser.DisplayOptions ();
		options.displayURLAsPageTitle = false;
		options.pageTitle = "My App";
		options.hidesTopBar = true;

		InAppBrowser.OpenURL ("https://myapp.com", options);
	}

Here is a place where I send some Json to the browser javascript:

InAppBrowser.ExecuteJS("$nuxt.messageFromUnity('{\"success\": \"" + success + "\"}');");

[Piotr]

Could you give some details what’s exactly not working?
i.e. is browser not opening? is communication not working? what’s $nuxt.messageFromUnity?

[tpitman]

I am the one who posted that the app crashes on iOS. I gave the crash stack in case that would give some idea of what is going on.

With a crash that means I don’t get anywhere with it.

The string I gave you is just what the web page is expecting to process in JavaScript. As far as your plugin goes I think it should just be passing that along to the web page JavaScript.

Is sample scene working for you? Have you tried to re-generate xcode project?
