[jira] [Created] (CB-11889) Add easy way to detect WKWebView

Ashley Gullen created CB-11889:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Add easy way to detect WKWebView
                 Key: CB-11889
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11889
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: iOS
            Reporter: Ashley Gullen


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!
