             Summary: Plugin should detect at runtime iOS 8 and use of file:// url and present an error
                 Key: CB-9636
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9636
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: iOS, Plugin WKWebViewEngine
            Reporter: Shazron Abdullah
            Assignee: Shazron Abdullah


Check whether it's a file url and iOS 8, and use loadHTMLString to present an error instead (and NSLog it).

This is unfortunate and shouldn't happen but we need to catch it nonetheless.

The WebView engine load will fail if these conditions are fulfilled:
1. iOS 8 
2. file:// url
3. current WebView engine is a WKWebView

This determination should be delegated to the WebView engine itself. There needs to be another method in the CDVWebViewEngineProtocol -- canLoadRequest:(NSURLRequest*)

If the WebViewEngine cannot load the request, we fall back to the UIWebView engine. This might cause a UI glitch that is undesirable when we need to replace WebView engines -- this assumption needs to be tested.
