Description

With the iOS9 API, it is now possible to detect when the WKProcess dies. See the API details for reference:
PR: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine/pull/5

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/releasenotes/General/iOS90APIDiffs/Objective-C/WebKit.html

When it does, the content is blanked out and the URL becomes nil. This results in a "white screen" that can only be resolved by restarting the app. See this for more info: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148685

I've Implemented the method: - (void)webViewWebContentProcessDidTerminate:(WKWebView *)webView which will be called when the process dies and reload the webView.
