The current release of IAB does not and will not work with Cordova iOS 6.0.0.

This is expected as the implementation of CDVUserAgentUtil was apart of the UIWebView. The next major release of IAB removes CDVUserAgentUtil.

This is the removal PR #635, and already merged.

@erisu Any ETA on the IAB release? This is a breaking change for anyone updating to cordova-ios:6.0.0

hey @erisu
Thanks for your work on cordova ✨
This error also caught me off guard and it took me a while to find what was going on.
I understand that releases depend on voluntary work so hard dates etc are hard but since IAB is so widely used it might be worth just adding a note on the release notes (on the blog). If this is something I can do (pr wise) I would love to help!

Was this intended to be fixed in cordova-plugin-inappbrowser@4.0.0? I am running cordova-ios@6.1.0 and cordova-plugin-inappbrowser@4.0.0.

When I try to build, I get the following error.

Plugins/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser/CDVWKInAppBrowser.m:27:9: fatal error: 
      'Cordova/CDVUserAgentUtil.h' file not found
#import <Cordova/CDVUserAgentUtil.h>

Any ideas? I need to publish my app :-).

I didn't understand that you can add specific versions of ios in the platform command. Running cordova platform add ios installs the latest version of cordova-ios which is currently 6.1.0 which causes the build to fail with the latest release of cordova-plugin-inappbrowser.

The workaround is:

cordova platform rm ios
cordova platform add ios@5.1.1

@timbru31 Are you aware of this issue?

[timbru31]

There is no issue with installing both latest versions. You probably have a dirty platforms or plugins folder.

[prodrammer]

@timbru31 I have a reset script that removes node_modules and platforms and then reinstalls. I failed to include removal of the plugins folder. I updated my script and re-ran. It worked! Thanks! However, I didn't "dirty" the plugins folder. Maybe that's an issue that should be looked into?

tbh, I'm not exactly sure on the purpose of the plugins folder, I believe it's an artefact of pre-npm days where Apache Cordova had its own plugin repository. I think all code responsible for loading/copying plugins to the plugin folder can be removed, but this is really a discussion that should be placed in the dev mailing.

@breautek Message sent. Thanks!

@erisu Thanks for your amazing work. As Apple's UIWebView deadline is approaching, we really need the plugin that is compatible with Cordova iOS 6. Is there a schedule for the upgrade?

It's already compatible. Cool!
