Following "Getting started" for a Hybrid IOS Mobile Application with:

node -v v12.19.0
ojet -v Oracle JET Command Line Interface, version: 9.1.0
cordova -v 10.0.0

Results in a build error:

Hi Gerth,

This appears to be an issue between Cordova and XCode itself. The JET tooling pulls Cordova directly off-the-shelf and uses it. We know that Cordova 9 and XCode 11 is working fine. You should contact the Cordova community and see if there are any known issues or workarounds that you can use.

Hi and thank you for your prompt reply.
Can you please share the versions of jet, cordova and xcode that has been tested to work together ?
I might be able to downgrade my combination.

From what I was told it was the same as what you have, except it was Cordova v9 instead of v10.

Thank you for your confirmation.
Plugin cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine is the cause of the problem when using Cordova v6+.

The cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine plugin is included in the hybrid plugins folder at every run of "ojet create --hybrid ...".
Is there a way to prevent Oracle JET from including this plugin in the generated hybrid structure to avoid my workaround explained below ?

.../JET/navbarisoapp/hybrid/platforms/ios/navbarisoapp/Plugins/cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine/CDVWKWebViewEngine.m:104:80: error: property 'userAgent' not found on object of type 'CDVViewController *'

"Cordova-ios@6 has wkwebview built in making this plugin obsolete."
Confirmation found here:
apache/cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine#142

This plugin is part of the hybrid folder at every "ojet create --- --hybrid ...".

Workaround example so far (for my versions stated at the top; Cordova 10.0.0 etc...):

$ ojet create iosapp --template navbar --hybrid --platforms=ios
$ cd iosapp/hybrid
$ cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine
6.0.0
Uninstalling cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine from browser
Uninstalling cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine from ios
Removing "cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine"
Removing plugin cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine from config.xml file...
Removing cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine from package.json
$ cd ..
$ ojet build
...
** BUILD SUCCEEDED **
