Thanks!

### Platforms affected
iOS
### Motivation and Context
<!-- Why is this change required? What problem does it solve? -->
<!-- If it fixes an open issue, please link to the issue here. -->
Recently a lot of people asked about UIWebView rejections and CORS issues. It might be a good idea to publish an update like we did for the build flag: https://cordova.apache.org/howto/2020/03/18/wkwebviewonly.html
### Description
<!-- Describe your changes in detail -->
I took the old UIWebView post and updated information from the [ios@6 releasenotes](https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2020/06/01/cordova-ios-release-6.0.0.html).
**TODO**
* information about splashscreen change? (wait for release)
* more about CORS?

+categories: howto
+tags: ios
+---
+
+We recently posted [instructions](/howto/2020/03/18/wkwebviewonly.html) how to update your apps to remove all `UIWebView` references, because Apple now rejects all apps using `UIWebView`.
+
+We are talking about this warning:
+
+> ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - Apple will stop accepting submissions of apps that use UIWebView APIs.
+
+Some things have changed and new versions of cordova-ios have been released since the last post.
+
+<!--more-->
+
+## Update cordova-ios to version 6.0.0 or newer
+
+Please update to the latest `cordova-ios` version to get the best compatibility with recent iOS changes. As of this writing the current version is 6.1.0. Version 6.0.0 of cordova-ios moved `WKWebView` support into `cordova-ios` and removed `UIWebView` code. Due to this change, the `cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine` plugin is obsolete and will not work with this release. If you have this plugin installed, it is safe to remove with `cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine`.
+
+Additionaly, `WKURLSchemeHandler` support has been introduced with this release. Serving your app content through a custom scheme fixes CORS issues that exist because of the strict security policies that `WKWebView` has applied to the `file` scheme. You can easily configure your Cordova project to use a custom scheme by setting the preference options `scheme` and `hostname` in the `config.xml` file. Bear in mind that running your app with a custom URL scheme changes the origin your web code runs and you will loose access to web storage, such as local storage, indexed DB, etc.

Review comment:
We may also want to note that changing schemes will cause clients to lose access to their current web storage, such as local storage, indexed DB, etc.
It's possible to migrate this data but Cordova doesn't currently handle this.

+
+## Still getting the warning?
+
+If you are still getting the warning, it is most likely one or more plugins in your project are still references `UIWebView`. You will need to identify which plugins and contact those plugin's developers through their support channel (plugin's repo). They will need to fix their plugins by either remove the references or wrap them with the new flag.

Is this valid English @breautek? I'd rephrase it to something like this:

+Additionaly, `WKURLSchemeHandler` support has been introduced with this release. Using a custom scheme to serve your app content through fixes CORS issues that exist because of the strict security policies that `WKWebView` has applied to the `file` scheme. You can easily configure your Cordova project to use a custom scheme by setting the preference options `scheme` and `hostname` in the `config.xml` file.

+## Update cordova-ios to version 6.0.0 or newer
+
+Please update to the latest cordova-ios version to get the best compatibility with recent iOS changes. As of this writing the current version is 6.1.0. Version 6.0.0 of cordova-ios moved `WKWebView` support into cordova-iOS and removed `UIWebView` code. Due to this change, the `cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine` plugin is obsolete and will not work with this release. If you have this plugin installed, it is safe to remove with `cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine`.

> information about splashscreen change?
I think the latest release of the splashscreen plugin includes the engine check to avoid installing the plugin on cordova-ios >= 6. However, @erisu was experiencing some clobber issues with the javascript... still might be worth mentioning that upgrading to cordova-ios@6 will require an upgrade to the `cordova-plugin-splashscreen` plugin.

should be bold to catch the reader's attention because it's well hidden in the text.

It would be good to mention the `convertFilePath` helper method since a few people has created issues or asked on github about not being able to load file urls when using a scheme
I created an issue to document it, but probably makes sense to mention it here too https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/947

+
+## Still getting the warning?
+
+If you are still getting the warning, it is most likely one or more plugins in your project still references `UIWebView`. You will need to identify which plugins contain `UIWebView` code and contact those plugin's developers through their support channel (for instance their plugin's repo). They will need to fix their plugins by either removing the references or wrap them with the new flag.
+
+## Using other WKWebView plugin
+
+The official Apache WKWebView plugin is no longer needed with these `cordova-ios` versions since `WKWebView` has been integrated and `UIWebView` is removed. There are other WKWebView plugins that can be used. Make sure they have been updated and use the latest version. If you have any issues or usage questions with their plugins, please read their docs and request help through their support channels.

+We are talking about this warning:
+
+> ITMS-90809: Deprecated API Usage - Apple will stop accepting submissions of apps that use UIWebView APIs.
+
+Some things have changed and new versions of cordova-ios have been released since the last post.
+
+<!--more-->
+
+## Update cordova-ios to version 6.0.0 or newer
+
+Please update to the latest cordova-ios version to get the best compatibility with recent iOS changes. As of this writing the current version is 6.1.0. Version 6.0.0 of cordova-ios moved `WKWebView` support into cordova-iOS and removed `UIWebView` code. Due to this change, the `cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine` plugin is obsolete and will not work with this release. If you have this plugin installed, it is safe to remove with `cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine`.
+
+Additionaly, `WKURLSchemeHandler` support has been introduced with this release. Using a custom scheme to serve your app content through fixes CORS issues that exist because of the strict security policies that `WKWebView` has applied to the `file` scheme. You can easily configure your Cordova project to use a custom scheme by setting the preference options `scheme` and `hostname` in the `config.xml` file.
Review comment:
Yeah a good idea to warn about that. Just pushed one sentence.

> I think the latest release of the splashscreen plugin includes the engine check to avoid installing the plugin on cordova-ios >= 6. However, @erisu was experiencing some clobber issues with the javascript... still might be worth mentioning that upgrading to cordova-ios@6 will require an upgrade to the `cordova-plugin-splashscreen` plugin.
A new version for the splashscreen plugin is currently being voted on. I think it fixes all issues with the latest cordova-ios versions. We should publish this post once that is released.

Thank you for preparing this PR @NiklasMerz !
I think all we need now is the splash screen release.
PS. I think I need to sort out my email client because I think Cordova emails are going to my spam/junk folder again, even though it's configured not to...
