Can UIWebView replace a Safari?

Question

Hi Friends,

Can we build an Application using UIWebView that will entirely mimic the Safari Browser?

Are there any cases where UIWebview can not do what that can be done in Safari?

Answer 1

For one thing, you have a separate cookie storage per app. So if a user has some preferences at site X within Safari, it won't have those preferences at site X within your browser, and vice versa. Apart from that a UIWebView is very much like the real thing.
