What is the difference between the [email protected] and cordova-plugin-ionic-webview ?

I guess you mean the webview that cordova-ios 6 includes vs the webview cordova-plugin-ionic-webview uses.

At the moment both of them use WKWebView.
Main differences are:

  • the webview on cordova-ios allows to load from file: protocol or load from custom schemes, while ionic-webview only allows custom schemes.
  • ionic-webview has some code to make ionic appflow work (live deploys)
  • ionic-webview has some code to allow autofocus/js focus on input fields on ios

other than that they are mostly the same

you can still use cordova-plugin-ionic-webview if using cordova-ios 6 since cordova-ios allows to use custom webviews.

This is very helpful. Would it be possible to put a note like this in the plugin docs?
