Apple will stop accepting submissions of apps that use UIWebView APIs

This article is for anybody who is deploying a React Native App with Xcode and has received the following:

Dear Developer,

We identified one or more issues with a recent delivery for your app, “NumberShapes” 2.8 (1). Your delivery was successful, but you may wish to correct the following issues in your next delivery:

ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage — Apple will stop accepting submissions of apps that use UIWebView APIs . See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiwebview for more information.

After you’ve corrected the issues, you can use Xcode or Application Loader to upload a new binary to App Store Connect.

Best regards,

The App Store Team

However, if you received this message even though none of your app uses UIWebView — keep reading.
