I have looked around in cordova-ios and found a way to switch the webview at runtime. As far as I understood how cordova-ios works it, is enough to set the name of the new webview and call the right method to reload the webview.
We have built a plugin which does that for our use case: https://github.com/GEDYSIntraWare/cordova-plugin-webview-switch Now I can call the plugins Javascript function and the app reloads with the webview I want to. This works perfectly for now. Do you see any chance to integrate parts of this into cordova-ios? If this sounds feasible, I would be glad to contribute this. I just need some feedback if this approach makes sense and where to implement the changes. Changing the webview is a dangerous action because the apps restarts completely and open plugin callbacks may run into exceptions which can cause crashes. Where do you to put JS code for platform code? I am available to talk more about that via e-mail or the Cordova Slack. Please let me know who is the right person to talk to. I would love to see this feature in cordova-ios. Best regards Niklas julio cesar sanchez – Tue, 8.
