Support for WKWebView ... FINALLY

[markrickert]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

OVER 5 years in the making!

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

So i ran into a crash when opening a modal screen that loads in a PM::WebScreen. If you close the modal before the content loads, the app would crash. So decided to look into if it was possible to get this old branch up and running and it's working great for simple web page display in a screen.

Once i merged master into the wk_web_view branch, the changes are actually quite simple!

I've tested this on ios 13 and displaying a simple web page works great:

class GoogleWebScreen < PM::WebScreen
  title "Google"

  def on_load
    set_nav_bar_button :left, title: "Close", action: :close
  end

  def content
    NSURL.URLWithString("https://www.google.com")
  end
end

Closes #543

😲 Nice!

The only things is breaks are the methods go_to_item(item), back_forward_list, and progress because they're not supported in WKWebView but you'll get a warning if you try and use them.

I agree a major version bump is warranted here but not entirely necessary.

Is there a target release date for 3.0.0? We're starting to get Deprecation notices from App Store connect regarding UIWebView.

Ah, I forgot we haven’t released this yet. Sorry about that. I’ll work on doing that today.
