bug: Webview not reactive on iOS after installation of the plugin from version 4.1.0

[lhalleux]

Plugin version:

All versions from 4.1.0 :

• 4.1.0
• 4.2.0
• 4.2.1
• 4.22

Platform(s):

• iOS only
• iOS 17.0.3 - Iphone 14 physical
• iOS 17.0.0 - Iphone 15 Pro Max simulator
• iOS 16.2 - Iphone 12 mini simulator

Current behavior:

When we use a version from 4.1.0, the webkit view is not reactive, all actions aren't intercepted.

Expected behavior:

The webkit is reactive as it need to be

Steps to reproduce: Install a version of the privacy capacitor-community/privacy-screen from 4.1.0. Build the application and run it on a physical device or simulated one. Now you cannot be able to interact with the webview.

Related code:

After some debuggin, it seems to be the code that breaks the reactivity of the webview kit :

DispatchQueue.main.async {
            self.bridge?.webView?.disableScreenshots()
        }

Other information: None, do not hesitate to contact me if you need any specific informations.

Unfortunately there are several problems with the screenshot feature. I plan to revert it (see https://github.com/capacitor-community/privacy-screen/issues/76#issuecomment-1776551316) with the next major release (which should be published this month).

@robingenz With this PR (https://github.com/capacitor-community/privacy-screen/pull/87) you might want to reconsider that decision :)
