AshleyScirra opened a new issue #415: Support serving local content with WKURLSchemeHandler
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/415
 
 
   Ref: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154916#c17
   
   Cordova apps tend to serve local content. On iOS with WKWebView, this causes severe issues with many features, such as the complete inability to XMLHttpRequest or fetch local files due to strict security restrictions. Apps can resort to `cordova-plugin-file`, but this forces them to write different code to handle iOS, defeating the purpose of Cordova to allow the same code to run everywhere.
   
   According to an Apple engineer, apps ought to be using WKURLSchemeHandler instead: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkurlschemehandler
   
   Please consider officially supporting this in Cordova on iOS.
