   Often using, or having deprecated code in the codebase is necessary in order to remain backwards compatible with older iOS versions. Therefore we cannot just blanket sweep all deprecations and refactor them to whatever what the replacements are. At the time of release of cordova-ios@6, it was decided to support iOS 11 and later. Nowadays, iOS 11 probably is pretty ancient and support could **probably** be dropped, but it would require rolling out new majors.
   
   In my experience, which includes providing support for the Apache Cordova community...  Apple doesn't block apps if they are using deprecated code, and if they have the intention to do so for specific deprecations, they will announce it (e.g. the UIWebView deprecation).
   
   So if Apple is blocking one of your apps from submission due to a deprecation code being used, it would be useful to know which deprecations they are referencing.
