App Store Review : UIWebView + URLProtocol

Hi,

I am writting an iOS 11 app that should support older version of iOS - from iOS 8.


For some features I need to intercept the web requests when loading a web content.

To achieve this I use WKSchemeHandler & WKWebView for iOS11and URLProtocol & UIWebView for iOS8 - iOS10.


Will Apple reject this app because it is using UIWebView which is marked deprecated?


"Starting in iOS 8.0 and OS X 10.10, use WKWebView to add web content to your app. Do not use UIWebView or WebView."


I'm not using private APIs, and I don't present web content using UIWebView, I just use it for intercepting.


Thanks

Being allowed via app review and working as intended aren't always synonymous. Even if it passed today, there is risk it could be crippled in the next iOS update.
