I've applied the config.xml updates they reccommend, but I'm still getting a reject message from Apple for using the UIWebView. Any suggestions?

I have iOS 5.1.1 and CLI 9.0.1

Not to sound flippant, but maybe find a replacement for this thing called Cordova? On a much more serious note, a few thoughts. (1) I actually wanted to start with something else, but - iOS 5.1.1? You're about 8 years out of date. (2) My original point was using third party code. Be aware that it isn't an iOS issue, as it's been well-known that UIWebView has been deprecated for years. Maybe you need to contact the third party? (3) Please note that Apple will no longer accept submissions. Nobody said that Apple won't allow your app as is to stay in the App Store. (iOS 5.1.1?) - dfd
That iOS5.1.1 is the cordova platform version that supports 13.x :o) I was able to get by it, there was some references in readme files that had the text UIWebView in it. I just deleted them. - Patrick Husting
It's hard to replace when you have an investment, you just can't rewrite everything unless you have unlimited money. - Patrick Husting
I agree about investments - both time and money. Glad you were able to find out the issue. - dfd
