iOS 13 is here, and Apple changes a lot in terms of App Store, App Approval, and Guidelines. Did you get this error message when uploading your iOS WebView app on the App Store as well?

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.

How to fix this? Just upgrade your WebView app project to the latest WebViewGold version which uses the latest WKWebView technology instead of outdated UIWebView API. There you go:

  • Download the WebViewGold app template for iOS 13+ here.
    Or book our full all-inclusive WeSetupYourWebViewApp service.
  • Done! Just resubmit, and this time Apple will accept it 🙂

Cheers, and enjoy!
