Answer 1

You need to update the plugin to latest version. If it still uses UIWebView, then you need to update it manually to support WKWebView.

Answer 2

cordova-plugin-file-transfer is deprecated and seems not working with the [email protected] .

I still use it with [email protected] and the flag in config.xml to use WKWebview:

<preference name="WKWebViewOnly" value="true" />

Before sending to apple, search and check in Xcode, that you don't have any mention to UIWebview. Sometimes a clean platforms is needed or you still have and old InAppBrowser version
