I'm trying to add a new app to the app store. After few days from submitting the app bundle I got this issue message

Dear Developer,
We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app. Please correct the following issues, then upload again.
ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - New apps that use UIWebView are no longer accepted. Instead, use WKWebView for improved security and reliability. Learn more (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiwebview).

I searched for a solution to this problem but I didn't get a clear answer for this issue. Many people recommended to search for UIWebView in the whole project and replace it with WKWebView. So I tried this command in my project grep -r "UIWebView" . but i got so many results all of them in node_modules folder.

My question is should I replace all UIWebView in node_modules to WKWebView? or there's another solution to this problem without editing node_modules files?

Here's the result of executing grep -r "UIWebView" . command

./node_modules/@types/react-native/index.d.ts:     * If `true`, use WKWebView instead of UIWebView.

It looks like you're using an older version of React Native? Upgrading would be step 1, as UIWebView has been removed in recent versions (in favor of react-native-webview). I'd recheck after that, my hinch is all the other references are just old readme's or comments. – Petr Bela
I'm using react-native version 0.59.9, I tried many times to upgrade to a newer version but it always fails (I get so many errors) and my project doesn't compile anymore. Is there any workaround to disable UIWebView ? @PetrBela – Mahdi N
I'm not aware of a simple workaround other than to change the source files directly. However, I'd really recommend you try to upgrade to latest RN. As there have been so many changes since 0.59, I think in your case it'd be easier to generate a new RN project and then move your source files over rather than trying to upgrade manually. – Petr Bela
I am also on 0.59.9 and facing the same issue – troy_achilies

Thanks to @PetrBela comment, I solved my problem by upgrading react-native to latest version by creating a new project, moving source files and then installing libraries one by one to see which librairies are not supported by new rn versions.

After upgrading I found that the problem was caused by the use of react-native-linkedin which have an old version of react-native-webview (7.0.5) as devDependency.

As a workaround I installed latest version of react-native-webview in my project and then deleted this folder node_modules/react-native-linkedin/node_modules/react-native-webview
