Using UIWebView with iOS

While UIWebView has been deprecated by Apple and should not be used anymore, there are circumstances where an update to an existing app needs to be done.

Apple will not allow this to be done for long, so this method will not work forever.

Two lines need to be in your config.xml file:

  <plugin name="cordova-plugin-uiwebview-engine" source="npm" />
  <engine name="ios" spec="5.1.1" />

The first line tells VoltBuilder to load UiWebView. (You may have this line already)

The second tells VoltBuilder to use the old build engine, instead of the default.

You will want to remove these two lines as soon as possible.

What VoltBuilder Does

VoltBuilder converts your web projects into native Android and iOS apps. VoltBuilder is a wrapper for Apache Cordova and Ionic Capacitor, so you can add native features to your apps via Cordova and Capacitor plugins.

VoltBuilder's Key features:

• Produces native executables — for easy testing & app store publishing.
• Publish in minutes — VoltBuilder uploads directly to Google Play and the Apple App Store.
• Easily generate certificates — VoltSigner makes Android and iOS certificates. No Mac needed!
• Nothing to install — just head to the Uploads page to get building.
• Nothing to store — we don't keep your passwords, certs, or code in our cloud.
• Always up-to-date — we install and maintain the latest SDKs and tooling so you don't have to.

How to Use VoltBuilder

It's as simple as Upload, Download, Run. Done.

1. Zip your web project.
2. Upload it to our platform.
3. Download the native app or let us deploy it to stores.
4. Run it instantly via QR code or direct link for testing.
