Migrating v1 iOS project from UIWebView to WKWebView

I have migrated my Ionic v1 project from UIWebView to WKWebView. My app has been rejected 4 times already by Apple as it says there are references to UIWebView still in the project somewhere. I simply don’t have the time (right now) to finally upgrade the project from v1 to v4…so I need to get this to work. I updated the webview with the following:

cordova-plugin-ionic-webview
npm install @ionic-native/ionic-webview

And I added the following to my config.xml:

<preference name="WKWebViewOnly" value="true" />
<feature name="CDVWKWebViewEngine">`
    <param name="ios-package" value="CDVWKWebViewEngine" />
</feature>
<preference name="CordovaWebViewEngine" value="CDVWKWebViewEngine" />

I removed the project ionic cordova platform rm ios, added it back in, then did ionic cordova prepare ios. But when I do a global project search for UIWebView (in Xcode) it returns 115 references across 15 files (listed below). I don’t want to keep submitting my project waiting around for rejections as its a waste of time.

What else can I do to ensure my project is now Apple safe for submission?

My Ionic Info (with question after):

Ionic:

   Ionic CLI         : 6.10.1 (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@ionic/cli)
   Ionic Framework   : ionic1 1.0.0   <-- question about this below
   @ionic/v1-toolkit : 1.0.22

Cordova:

   Cordova CLI       : 9.0.0 (cordova-lib@9.0.1)
   Cordova Platforms : ios 5.1.1
   Cordova Plugins   : cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.2.0, cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 5.0.0, (and 32 other plugins)

Utility:

   cordova-res                          : 0.15.1
   native-run (update available: 1.2.2) : 1.0.0

System:

   ios-deploy : 1.10.0
   ios-sim    : 8.0.2
   NodeJS     : v10.21.0 (/usr/local/Cellar/node@10/10.21.0/bin/node)
   npm        : 6.14.4
   OS         : macOS Catalina
   Xcode      : Xcode 11.5 Build version 11E608c

I am on Ionic/CLI: 6.10.1 and Ionic Framework ionic1 1.0.0 - however, my bower.json file shows:

{
  "name": "HelloIonic",
  "private": "true",
  "devDependencies": {
    "ionic": "ionic-team/ionic-bower#1.3.4"
  }
}

But I don’t have bower installed on my Mac. Am I actually running framework v1.0.0 or am I running v.1.3.4? I don’t think I am truly running v.1.3.4 - which could be a part of the Apple app rejection - Question: what is the PROPER way to upgrade ionic framework (not the CLI)

Here are the file references still in my project - which one are causing the problems? All of them or some of them? I am not certain if any of these are from my plugins, but I don’t think they are, I think they are from base Cordova, but I can’t tell.
