UIWebView - react-native-gesture-handler

Expo SDK
10

I’m not sure I understand your question, but maybe the following will explain things?

  • UIWebView is deprecated and Apple says that starting from April they won’t accept apps that include it.
  • Current versions of Expo apps do include it because of it being included in some dependencies.
  • These dependencies are being updated in Expo SDK 37 so that managed Expo apps built with SDK 37 will not include any references to UIWebView.
  • Expo SDK 37 is being released at the end of March.
  • So as far as I understand it, if you want to put a new app on the App Store after the start of April, you will need to use Expo SDK >= 37.

EDIT: As per @launchyoo’s comment, it might only be new apps that are rejected from April.
