Hi,

I have one question about cordova app build for IOS.

Does this hybrid app for IOS uses "UIWebView" object to load HTML pages inside IOS app ?

As what i have studied that cordova app for Android uses Android default webbrowser to load HTML apges inside Android apps generated by cordova.

Which browser is used to load HTML pages inside IOS apps generated y cordova ?

Is it IoS browser safari ?

Please suggest.

Regards,

Dinesh

PhoneGap uses UIWebView, which is the system web browser. Do NOT confuse this with Mobile Safari, however -- they aren't identical (especially with regard to JavaScript performance -- WKWebView is going to help tremendously in this particular respect, but it's still not Mobile Safari). That said, what renders correctly in Mobile Safari tends to render the same way in UIWebView, it's just that the JS perf will probably be different.
