Don't use this plugin in an app intended for App Store as you will get a review rejection from Apple: Deprecated API Usage — Apple will stop accepting submissions of apps that use UIWebView APIs For more info, please see the following Github issue Google Mobile Vision relying on deprecated UIWebview.
