Hi, AjaykumarDevabakthini-4932. UIWebView has already been around since iOS 2.0 but has been deprecated since iOS 8.0. And since April 2020, Apple announced that they reject new apps still referencing UIWebView. The two plugins may not update the function code to replace UIWebView with WKWebView.

Someone faced the similar issue and has reported the problem to the author of the nuget package. Check the link:
