iOS - ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage (April 2020 Cutoff Date) #432

Xamarin.Auth Issue

Apple has announced they are deprecating the UIWebView and Apple being Apple they will prevent new app submissions after April 2020 and updates to existing apps after December 2020. This means any apps using this plugin won't be able to be submitted after those dates.

This isn't urgent but curious if there are plans to update the iOS logic to use WKWebView vs UIWebView?

Version

Steps to reproduce

  1. Leverage Native Login Flow
  2. Submit App to Apple.
  3. Receive a warning email.

Anything new? Will we no longer be able to use Xamarin.Auth after April 2020?

Deadline is looming :(

@js-ka You can still submit updates to an existing app after April 2020. Just can't submit new ones. I believe you can't submit updates after November.

InquisitorJax commented 4 years ago

Still not great news for those of us releasing new apps after Apr :( I believe December is the deadline for updating existing apps.

InquisitorJax commented 4 years ago

for those who need to get by, Xamarin.Essentials is a possible alternative: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/xamarin/authentication-xamarin-essentials-aspnet/

Am I missing something or their is a property called IsUsingWKWebView that can be set to trueto use WKWebView?

https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Auth/blob/c75c312bd9a7eb7099a315fd76e6c2b6b1d668fc/source/Core/Xamarin.Auth.XamarinIOS/PlatformSpecific/WebViewConfiguration.cs

If this property is set to true, does Apple still send a warning when submitting the app? Am I forced to use Xamarin.Essentials.WebAuthenticator like @InquisitorJax mentionned if I'm planning to release my app after April?

Any update?

This is also an issue for us, Xamarin.Auth is the only dependency we have which still references UIWebView. It would be great to see an updated release or an official workaround if possible.

We have removed Xamarin.Auth from our product and now we are using Xamarin.Essentials WebAuthenticator. And it's working like a charm.

@Thorinos do you mind sharing how did you make the WebAuthenticator work like a Charm? we have been working on using it for Apple (working 100%) Google(only works in Android, not iOS) and Facebook (not working on any platform).

Has anyone tried continuing to use Xamarin.Auth as is and using this method : https://devblogs.microsoft.com/xamarin/uiwebview-deprecation-xamarin-forms/

We are using our own web service to authentication.

I’ve been playing with this today and have some promising results https://www.davidbritch.com/2020/04/authentication-from-xamarinforms-app_8.html?m=1
