Getting above email from [email protected] while uploading build. I've not used UIWebView in my project. I've updated all pods. I searched word 'UIWebView' in workspace but nothing found. I also searched in terminal using grep -r -f "UIWebView"., getting grep: UIWebView.: No such file or directory.

What should I do before uploading new build??

I solved a similar problem as follows:

  1. Search in the workspace UIWebView and replace it to WKWebView
  2. Remove UIWebView in the storyboards and add "WKWebView" instead (do not forget about the connection with the code)

  3. In the terminal, in the project folder, enter the command:

    grep -r "UIWebView" .

    (don't forget the space and the dot at the end of command!) to find links to UIWebView in library files.

  4. Update the libraries with UIWebView, and if it does not help, then delete all library that have links to UIWebView. (Most libraries with UIWebView have new updates without UIWebView)

In my case I just went grep -r "UIWebView" . and then changed UIWebview to WKWebview and updated pods that used UIWebview to the newer versions I found, FBSDK at version 5.5 worked.
