Cordova WKWebView Polyfill Plugin

by Eddy Verbruggen / Telerik

[Jan 17, 2016] iOS 9.3 BETA seems to require you to set the minimum deployment target to 8.0, otherwise you may see a hanging splashscreen or white startup page. I hope that's fixed in later BETA's, otherwise it may be wise to drop iOS 7 support in your app.

[Jan 10, 2016] At the moment this plugin is NOT compatible with Cordova-iOS-4 (so use 3.x), see #209 for details.

1. Description

BETA - things may break, please post your feedback :)

Take note!

2. Screenshot

This image shows the SocialSharing plugin in action while running a performance test in an iframe on my iPhone 6 (older devices show an even larger difference). It's a screenshot of the demo app.

3. Installation

From npm

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-wkwebview

Specify a custom port (default 12344), you can omit this if you want to use the default in case you use a recent Cordova CLI version

$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-wkwebview --variable WKWEBVIEW_SERVER_PORT=12344

No need for anything else - you can now open the project in XCode 6 if you like.

5. Credits

This plugin was inspired by the hard work of the Apache Cordova team (and most notably Shazron).
