iOS FAQ: Is UIWebView used in the iOS SDK? (iOS v3)

No. The UIWebView API has been deprecated by Apple.

Apple has stated that "[t]he App Store will no longer accept new apps using UIWebView as of April 2020 and app updates using UIWebView as of December 2020".

As of JW Player's iOS SDK 3.5, the deprecated UIWebView API has been replaced with the WKWebView.
In Google IMA iOS SDK 3.11.2, Google removed all remaining references to UIWebView. This SDK has been added to JWP's iOS SDK 3.12.0.
