Navigating the Update: Switching From UIWebView to WKWebView in the iOS OneDrive SDK

If you're a developer working on iOS applications that use the OneDrive SDK, you may have come across a significant issue recently: the deprecation of UIWebView. Apple has announced that apps using this old framework would no longer be accepted, prompting the need for an immediate update. But what can you do when the SDK hasn't been updated in a while? Here's a detailed guide on how to address this pressing challenge.

Understanding the Problem

The UIWebView framework has been phased out in favor of WKWebView, a more modern and efficient option. This transition is critical not only for compliance with App Store guidelines but also for enhancing the performance and security of your app. As a developer, it’s crucial to ensure that your app's user experience remains optimal while adhering to Apple’s guidelines.

Solution Overview

Fortunately, while waiting for Microsoft to update the OneDrive SDK, developers can make emergency patches themselves. Below, we’ll break down the essential code changes needed to replace UIWebView with WKWebView within the ODAuthenticationViewController.

1. Modifying ODAuthenticationViewController.m

The primary focus is to implement WKWebView instead of UIWebView in the following ways:

Importing Necessary Headers: Ensure to import the correct header for WKWebView.

Update Property Declaration: Change the property declaration of the web view from UIWebView to WKWebView.

Implement WKNavigationDelegate: Replace UIWebViewDelegate methods with their respective WKWebView methods.

Here's an updated snippet for clarity:

2. Handling Navigation and Load Requests

You will need to swap out methods relevant to loading web requests and handling navigation. For example, implement the webView:didFinishNavigation: method from WKNavigationDelegate:

3. Remove Deprecated UIWebView References

In addition, you should clean up references to UIWebView. Specifically, within your Podfile, you may want to remove any deprecated references to UIWebView components such as:

ADAuthenticationViewController.h

ADAuthenticationViewController.m

ADAuthenticationWebViewController.h

ADAuthenticationWebViewController.m

This step ensures that your codebase is clean and future-proof against any further changes from Apple.

Conclusion

Although the initial solution to transition from UIWebView to WKWebView has become outdated, following these steps will help ensure that your iOS application adheres to Apple's standards and delivers an improved user experience. As always, keep an eye out for updates from Microsoft concerning the OneDrive SDK, as they may provide a more robust long-term solution.

Remember, keeping your applications updated with the latest frameworks not only enhances performance but also safeguards against unexpected issues with app distribution. If in doubt, consult the official documentation or community forums for more detailed guidance.
