Thanks for the warning, I thought we are having a discussion here. If I had all
the answers it wouldn't be a discussion would it? "obvious reasons" might be
immediately obvious to you, but there might be loopholes in any argument,
especially as I concede, mine.
The interim version of course has to be installed first -- what I consider to
be a reasonable period (deprecation period?) that users must update to. I know
this is unworkable for most people.
I also mentioned this:
{noformat}
With the next major platform version of cordova-ios, the wkwebview plugin will
be baked in, so "migration" will be easier. When the user who is still on
UIWebView has migrated their data to the interim format, you can switch to
WKWebView usage that will then ingest this data.
{noformat}
This could solve that scenario. If the user is still on UIWebView and they
upgrade to this dual webview engine version, no problem -- the app still runs
(not ideal). In the meantime, you copy their data as I mentioned (the interim
solution), then on next run (or on the same run), you can switch to WKWebView
and migrate the data. This is a proposed solution (dynamic webview switching,
or at least switch on start), but it has not been implemented yet, I'm still
working out the details.

The suggested interim version *has to be installed by all existing users before updating to the "final" version*. If a user skips the interim version, which is almost guaranteed to happen unless it is around for a very long time, the migration will fail and the user will lose all their data. If you don't want to integrate this into cordova-ios, fine, but please don't suggest "solutions" that simply are not workable. > wkwebview LocalStorage Persistence For Existing Users > - > > Key: CB-11974 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11974 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Bug > Components: cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine >Reporter: Charles Vanderhoff >Priority: Major > Labels: wkwebview-known-issues > > There are a number of apps out there that rely on localstorage to store > session / user data.
