Only right pane of workspace visible on macOS Sonoma

Problem description:

When opening a Workspace on Bibledit running on macOS Sonoma 14.2.1, only the right pane of the Workspace is visible.

Here is a report from a user:

NOTE: I am using MacOS on M1 chip laptop using the latest OS and installed Bibledit through the Mac App Store.

(1) About 3 months ago, the workspaces suddenly stopped working normally. All the columns OTHER THAN THE RIGHTMOST COLUMN cannot be seen (although they seem to be there because when I hover over the empty spaces with the mouse, there seems to be something there - and sometimes when I click, the verse in the rightmost column which can be seen, changes). I tried changing, deleting, recreating workspaces etc, but nothing works. If you need, I can send a screen video capture to show you what I mean…

Here is a screenshot.

A work-around for just now is to start Bibledit on macOS, and then open Safari to http://localhost:9876. This will then show the GUI of Bibledit, and it properly shows all panes in a workspace.

• [x] Update the code to WKWebView.
• [x] Test well.
• [x] Release to App Store.
• [x] Have it reviewed.

The web inspector was opened on the embedded WebKit browser, but no errors were seen in the console.

Xcode on macOS Sonoma says that the WebView used is deprecated and recommends to change to WKWebView instead. That was done in a testing environment, and it shows that this would fix the problem.

A new version was uploaded to the App Store, was reviewed there, and is now ready for use. This has the fix for the issue.
