UIWebView references in blank project

Hi there,

I am going through a nightmare regarding the UIWebView depreciation. I am in the process of identifying the cordova plugins and hopefully will find solutions. However, when I start from a blank ionic project, I still see references with respect to UIWebView and puzzled by it. Below please find the steps I followed:

1. ionic start testProject blank --cordova
2. Add the below into the ios section of the config.xml:

<preference name="WKWebViewOnly" value="true" />
<feature name="CDVWKWebViewEngine">
      <param name="ios-package" value="CDVWKWebViewEngine" />
</feature>
<preference name="CordovaWebViewEngine" value="CDVWKWebViewEngine" />

3. ionic cordova prepare ios
4. cd platforms/ios
5. grep -Ri UIWebView

At this point, I see references at CDVUIWebViewEngine.m

If I were to install the following:

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-inappbrowser
npm install @ionic-native/in-app-browser

I also see references related to inappbrowser

I am not sure what is going on with such a basic structure. I’d grateful for any pointer you may have as I have been pulling my hairs for the last two days.

Below is my setup:

Ionic:

   Ionic CLI                     : 6.7.0 (/home/doug/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/@ionic/cli)
   Ionic Framework               : @ionic/angular 5.1.1
   @angular-devkit/build-angular : 0.901.7
   @angular-devkit/schematics    : 9.1.7
   @angular/cli                  : 9.1.7
   @ionic/angular-toolkit        : 2.2.0

Cordova:

   Cordova CLI       : 9.0.0 (cordova-lib@9.0.1)
   Cordova Platforms : ios 5.1.1
   Cordova Plugins   : cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.2.0, cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 4.2.1, (and 6 other plugins)

Utility:

   cordova-res                          : 0.14.0
   native-run (update available: 1.0.0) : 0.2.9

Thanks,

Doug
