Crashes with Ionic 3 and WK WebView

Hi,

I have experienced crashes until uninstalling this plugin.

Before on UIWebView I didn't experience the problem.

I am using ionic-team WK WebView plugin that is installed as standard when starting new project with ionic start.

I had the same issue, I reported it about a month ago but it was closed bc author couldn't reproduce. This plugin doesn't seem to support Ionic 3 and WK WebView but I would love to be able to use it with Ionic.

The plugin is build for UIWebview, not WKWebview. The app crash on stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString calls (https://github.com/mrchandoo/cordova-plugin-decimal-keyboard/blob/master/src/ios/CDVDecimalKeyboard.m#L164)

Here is the crash log :

I think we can make a wrapper to call the right function if the user use a WKWebview. instead of the UIWebView : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview/1415017-evaluatejavascript

Did anyone find a solution to this? I was planning on using it but have recently updated to use wkwebview due to layout issues on ios11 and can no longer use this plugin.

Plugin currently doesnt support WK, it uses UIWebview, need some volunteers to look into it.

Hello, i made a PR to solve this issue : https://github.com/mrchandoo/cordova-plugin-decimal-keyboard/pull/12

[john-doherty]

Any change of getting this merged ^ ?

[john-doherty]

For those unable to wait for a merge, I forked, renamed and published to npm. You can install using:

cordova plugin add --save cordova-plugin-decimal-keyboard-wkwebview

I can confirm it's working fine with the above merged pull request. Thank you @ericdesa

[ericdesa]

glad it helped you @john-doherty ;-)

I had this same issue when installing from npm, e.g. cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-decimal-keyboard.

However, it works when I add it straight from the git repo:

cordova plugin add 'https://github.com/mrchandoo/cordova-plugin-decimal-keyboard'

Perhaps we need to publish a new version?
