LiveCode does use UIWebView. I can’t speak for the team but I would think it’s unlikely we would look at altering that until support for iOS 7 is dropped. Down the track with WKWebView having a common api on Mac 10.10 and iOS 8.0 it would make sense to share code when they are our minimum supported platforms.
