    Resolution: Not A Problem
      Assignee: jcesarmobile

I've found this code that works on iOS 10

{code}
if (window.webkit) {
    //WKWebView
}
{code}

In fact, this code is used by the cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine itself (with some other checks) to use a different bridge when the WKWebView is being used

> There is no clear and easy way to detect WKWebView from the user agent string or from any Cordova properties, AFAIK.
> Previous solutions said to test for window.indexedDB. This is no longer present on iOS 10's WKWebView. Our engine Construct 2 used to rely on this to work around the different security model/featureset of WKWebView, but since iOS 10 changed it, all our games using WKWebView are broken.
> I want to add some other way to detect it, but it is all undocumented and I could end up relying on something that changes and breaks everything again.
> To prevent this problem happening again there should be something like "isWKWebView" somewhere!
