React Native 0.57+ supports the new
WKWebView
iOS component inWebView
instead of the legacyUIWebView
..The UIWebView component is deprecated since iOS 12
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiwebview
WKWebView is supported on iOS 8 and newer so that is not a concern.

An article on the
WKWebView
support in React Native here:http://facebook.github.io/react-native/blog/2018/08/27/wkwebview
The change code-wise is trivial, but this needs thorough manual testing.
