Deprecated ios Application

Is it your app, I mean do you have full source code ?

If so, can you open it in a recent Xcode version ?

What tools did you original use to build this app? Xcode? Or something else?

And what version of those tools?

OK, that’s not too old.

If you try to open your project with a modern version of Xcode, what does it report?

The main thing is the deprecation warning that sya " UIWebView is deprecated - please adopt WKWebView" and that is for several different methods. Then semantic issues that say "Implementing deprecated method"

Right. We’ve deprecated UIWebView in favour of WKWebView, and for good reason [1]. UIWebView still works but using it will likely cause you problems down the line (most notably with App Review). My advice is that you leave your UIWebView code in place while you get your app building with modern tools and running on modern systems. Once you’re reached a stable baseline, you can tackle replacing UIWebView with WKWebView.
