My problem: The ionic app I\'m developing is horribly slow, after finding out UIWebView is the culprit I\'m looking for ways to speed it up, with WKWebView bein

Answer 1

I'm looking into using CrossWalk for IOS which has an implementation of WkWebView working.

https://crosswalk-project.org/documentation/ios.html

The project is supported by Intel so there is solid support behind it.

Another option would be to try and install the following plugin developed by Telerik that swaps in a WKWebView.

Cordova is also moving to supporting WKWebView with a plugin as well. The support for WKWebView is terrible. It's riddled with bugs since it came out in iOS7. It's slowly getting fixed each ios release.

Here is to hoping iOS 10 makes some improvements.
