Description

CDVCordovaView inherits from UIWebView. Apple's documentation for UIWebView states that classes should not inherit from this class. Most straightforward recommendation is to simply remove CDVCordovaView, and make CDVViewController's webView property actually be a UIWebView. There's currently no custom logic in CDVCordovaView to support a custom view anyway.
