Step 1: Download the Latest WebViewGold Version

• Go to your CodeCanyon Download tab: https://codecanyon.net/downloads

• Click “Download” → “All files & documentation” for WebViewGold (iOS or Android)

• Unzip the downloaded file

Step 2: Use Git/GitHub to Compare Files

If you’re working with version control (highly recommended):

1. Create a GitHub repository:

   • Visit https://github.com

   • Log in and click “New repository”

   • Name it something like webviewgold-ios-custom or webviewgold-android-app

   • Choose Private visibility

    

2. Upload your current (customized) app to the main branch

3. Create a second branch (e.g. original-v5.8) and upload the new WebViewGold files there

4. Use GitHub’s Compare feature to:

   • Identify what changed

   • Manually transfer new/required changes into your working version

    

Step 3: Replace Key Files for Upgrade

On iOS:

• Replace your Config.swift file from the previous version into the new one

• Make sure your Bundle ID stays the same

• Increase the version number and build number

• Reapply customizations like splash screen, colors, icons, etc.

On Android:

• Replace the Config.java file and copy over custom code from your MainActivity.java

• Watch out for any new variables or settings in the updated version and configure them accordingly

• Copy over:

  • res/values/strings.xml (texts)

  • res/values/colors.xml

  • App icons in res/mipmap-*

   

• Keep the same Package Name

• Bump up the version code and version name

Bonus Tip: Use Git Tools

For even smoother handling, use tools like:

• GitHub Desktop

• GitKraken

• Sourcetree

• Or built-in Git support in Visual Studio Code

This message is accompanied by several other error codes and domains, such as “RBSRequestErrorDomain” and “NSPOSIXErrorDomain”, which provide additional information about the failure of the launch process.

The error message suggests that the problem lies with the LaunchServices launcher, which is responsible for launching applications on a Mac. However, by looking at the system logs, you might also get the response that the error was related to a missing framework or library that the application needed to launch.

There is an easy fix for this error message as deactivating “Open with Rosetta” on macOS for the Xcode app can help ensure that the app runs smoothly and without errors. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. First, open the Finder and navigate to the Applications folder.
2. Locate the Xcode app and right-click on it.
3. Select “Get Info” from the context menu.
4. In the Info window, scroll down to the “Open with Rosetta” checkbox and uncheck it.
5. Close the Info window.
6. Double-click on the Xcode app to launch it. The app should now run natively on your Mac’s processor without the need for Rosetta. WebViewGold for macOS should run smoothly.

A thing to keep in mind is that deactivating “Open with Rosetta” may cause issues with other app templates & Xcode projects (e.g., some versions of WebViewGold for iOS) that depend on Rosetta, so it’s a good idea to re-check this for your other app templates & Xcode projects later to ensure that everything is working as expected.

In conclusion, encountering the “Launch failed” error can be frustrating, but by understanding the root cause and troubleshooting accordingly, it can be resolved within a minute. Of course, it’s also always a good idea to check for updates, consult the system logs, and reach out to us for support if you still need help.

• Changelog for iOS: https://www.webviewgold.com/changelog/iOS/
• Changelog for Android: https://www.webviewgold.com/changelog/android/

The methods required for updating to a new version of WebViewGold depends on the changes made. Most updates contain changes to 1-3 main files, which you can easily update manually whilst preserving the rest of your codebase. However, if it has been some time since you last updated (a few months) it is more likely that there will be more extensive changes that will require using the new codebase and only transferring over the main things like your app icon images. When using a new codebase/project, make sure to use the same bundle ID/package name and a higher version number than the previous version.

Once you have downloaded the new WebViewGold version, there are two ways to see what changes have been made to inform how you upgrade:

• If you know how to use Git
  • Use Git to compare the new version to the old version.
• If you don’t know how to use Git
  • Reach out to our support team   We can tell you the changes made and provide some advice. Make sure to say what versions you are upgrading from and to so we can check that for you!

Here are some suggestions on folders to target if transferring assets like icon images to a new codebase. Please take care to copy and paste into the correct folders!

• iOS:
  • WebView-Swift/WebView/Assets.xcassets
    • This folder contains the image assets used by the app. You can open each subfolder to see what kind of icons you want to transfer over. The most relevant one for most users is the subfolder that contains your app icon images. It is called “AppIcon.appiconset“.
• Android:
  • Folders to transfer for your app icon image:
    • AndroidStudioSourceCode/app/src/main/res/mipmap-anydpi-v26
    • AndroidStudioSourceCode/app/src/main/res/mipmap-hdpi
    • AndroidStudioSourceCode/app/src/main/res/mipmap-mdpi
    • AndroidStudioSourceCode/app/src/main/res/mipmap-xhdpi
    • AndroidStudioSourceCode/app/src/main/res/mipmap-xxhdpi
    • AndroidStudioSourceCode/app/src/main/res/mipmap-xxxhdpi
  • Folder for splash gif and offline image:
    • AndroidStudioSourceCode/app/src/main/res/drawable
  • Documents for string and color values:
    • AndroidStudioSourceCode/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml
    • AndroidStudioSourceCode/app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml
