CLM Content Rendering on iOS - UIWebView Support Ending in 20R2
Beginning with the 20R2 release, planned for August 2020, Veeva CRM will exclusively support the WKWebView rendering engine for CLM content. Support for the legacy UIWebView rendering engine will be removed from Veeva CRM at this time. As a result, all CLM content will render using WKWebView with the release of 20R2.
Apple introduced WKWebView to fix security flaws in UIWebView and to improve performance. However, as a side effect, there may be slight impacts to content rendering that may require content updates. Veeva recommends customers and their content partners test all CLM content prior to the 20R2 release.
To review your CLM content, use the WKWebView Evaluation App. No configuration is required. Based on feedback from customers who have already completed this process, the vast majority of content renders flawlessly in WKWebView. However, there are rare instances when content updates are required.
Apple may officially remove UIWebView before the Veeva CRM 20R2 release. In this case, all CLM content will automatically use WKWebView.
