WKWebView is the preferred cordova plugin for use in Cordova and Ionic hybrid applications on iOS. But Auth0’s recommended solution for cordova/hybrid applications, auth0-cordova, doesn’t work WKWebView. This ticket was opened in May and it looks like the problem has been identified:
https://github.com/auth0/auth0-cordova/issues/42
I’m hoping someone from Auth0 can work with Max from Ionic to get this resolved. Ionic has stated that future iOS dev will focus on using WKWebView.
