How do I opt into WKWebview?

I am trying to use WKWebview instead of UIWebview.

This docs don’t seem to mention how to turn this on?

In the react docs it says to set useWebKit to true. I searched this repo for the string useWebKit with no results and I tried setting it anyways but I am still getting deprecation warnings from Apple about UIWebview

Can someone please tell me how to opt into WKWebview?

@Naturalclar thanks for the comment.

I just updated from 7.4.3 to 8.0.2 and I am still getting the error. When I deliver the build to App Store Connect I get the following email from apple:

Dear Developer,

We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, “App Name” 0.0.3 (1). Your delivery was successful, but you may wish to correct the following issues in your next delivery:

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.

After you’ve corrected the issues, you can upload a new binary to App Store Connect.

Best regards,

The App Store Team

@jisaacks @Stephen2 Expo and some of it’s packages still internally do reference deprecated UIWebView. Expo team is planning to remove those references completely in SDK 37+.

For now it’s safe to use the library despite deprecated code being referenced, Apple just reminds you, that it’s support would be removed in the next versions of iOS and you might need to update your code accordingly (the most important parts of the message from Apple are Your delivery was successful and but you may wish to correct the following issues in your next delivery).
