Bug Report

TMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - New apps that use UIWebView are no longer accepted. Instead, use WKWebView for improved security and reliability.

Problem

I did two experiments:

1: Uninstall admobs from the project and submited, result: PASSED 2: Uninstaled everything except admobs and resubmitted, result: FAILED

Sharing the podfile.lock + platform details + list of plugins I'm using in my project:

ionic -v : 6.10.1
cordova -v : 9.0.0 (cordova-lib@9.0.1)
"cordova-ios": "^6.1.0"
"cordova-plugin-admob-free": "^0.27.0"
"cordova-admob-sdk": "^0.24.1"
 "cordova-plugin-firebasex": "^10.1.0-cli",

List of plugins used :

cordova-admob-sdk 0.24.1 "AdMob SDK"
cordova-plugin-admob-free 0.27.0 "Cordova AdMob Plugin"
cordova-plugin-androidx 2.0.0 "cordova-plugin-androidx"
cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter 1.1.1 "cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter"
cordova-plugin-device 2.0.2 "Device"
cordova-plugin-firebasex 10.1.0-cli "Google Firebase Plugin"
cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.2.0 "cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard"
cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 4.2.1 "cordova-plugin-ionic-webview"
cordova-plugin-splashscreen 5.0.2 "Splashscreen"
cordova-plugin-statusbar 2.4.2 "StatusBar"
cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.3.3 "Whitelist"
cordova-promise-polyfill 0.0.2 "cordova-promise-polyfill"

What is expected to happen?

TMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - New apps that use UIWebView are no longer accepted. Instead, use WKWebView for improved security and reliability.

What does actually happen?

All of apache maintained codebase have moved away from uiwebview in their latest versions, which I see you are already using.

You'll have to contact the maintainers of those admob plugins. It's up to them to update their codebases to comply with apple's standards.

breautek commented 4 years ago

Do note that the Cordova plugin for admob is likely not maintained by google's admob team, but a third party.

Hence their response.
