Cordova WKWebView Engine

This plugin makes Cordova use the WKWebView component instead of the default UIWebView component, and is installable only on a system with the iOS 9.0 SDK.

In iOS 9, Apple has fixed the issue present through iOS 8 where you cannot load locale files using file://, and must resort to using a local webserver. However, you are still not able to use XHR from the file:// protocol without CORS enabled on your server.

Installation

This plugin needs to use the master branch of cordova-ios which is the next release of cordova-ios (4.0.0).

To alpha test this:

cordova create wkwvtest my.project.id wkwvtest
cd wkwvtest
cordova platform add https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios.git#master
cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine.git#master

You also must have Xcode 7 and the iOS 9 SDK installed. If you have this and are still getting this error:

Plugin doesn't support this project's apple-ios version. apple-ios: 8.4.0, failed version requirement: >=9.0

You may need to switch to your Xcode Beta installation, using this command:

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer

To switch back:

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
