Hi guys. Currently Apple is not approving the submission of an app I’m working on because of the usage of deprecated UIWebView and we found that the generated KMP Binary was the cause. We did include third party binaries that was using this inside the KMP Binary. We removed them, but still when using nm on the Generated KMP Binary, it still finds references to UIWebViewDelegate .

000000000065d1d8 s __OBJC_LABEL_PROTOCOL_$_UIWebViewDelegate
00000000006c6010 d __OBJC_PROTOCOL_$_UIWebViewDelegate

Does anyone know why this happens? We are using version Kotlin/Native 1.3.61, and by looking at the Changelog, it doesn’t mention anything about this. But could it be fixed in recent versions?
UPDATE: SOLVED

Hello, @Nuno Vieira! Can you clarify a bit, what you’ve tried to change here? You cut off the framework written in K/N, or removed the library depending on it?

Hi Artyom

[Nuno Vieira]

We removed the libraries depending on it that were using UIWebView. Still using nm to find UIWebView symbols, the K/M framework still has symbols of UIWebViewDelegate which is weird.

[Nuno Vieira]

We don’t use UIWebViewDelegate in our K/N framework, and we removed the one binaries that were using it.

[Nuno Vieira]

Btw these binaries are iOS Obj-c SDK’s

[Nuno Vieira]

Right now we are doing a test if it will now pass Apple Validation. I’ll update you once that is done

@Artyom Degtyarev [JB] Nvm, it is solved 👍 It looks that the symbol is not an issue. using otool -tV to find usages of that, it doesn’t find anything, and it looks that is what is enough. It passed Apple’s validation ✅
