Use the WKWebView class instead of using WebView

[EstherSalinas]

Hi,

Congratulations for your project. I'm using OS X 10.11 and this screen saver works for the README examples. But I have a web that uses arrow functions (I'm not sure if it is the reason) the screensaver is shown in black colour. I've read this in apple page:

In apps that run in OS X 10.10 and later, use the WKWebView class instead of using WebView.

Thank you in advance,

Esther.

An accessible Javascript console of some sort would be helpful, too :/

+1 . It runs too slow on WebView, the speed of executing pages is supposedly much faster on WKWebView

It runs too slow on WebView

I've noticed it's not super speedy, myself.

I've never opened up XCode in my life, except to update it. Is this something that's difficult to change, or is it literally just changing an import? @liquidx mentioned that he's doing maintenance, but not active development; I could try it, but I don't really want to sink three days into something that would take an experienced dev two hours.

I have not done XCode either, but I was able to load the project in XCode and compile it. I think updating it to use WKWebView should be fairly easy: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32290198/osx-webview-very-slow-and-laggy

This may be a helpful workaround: https://github.com/liquidx/webviewscreensaver/issues/16#issuecomment-351837159.

We switched to WKWebView in the latest version v2.1.
