Cordova Application Consultant -- 2

We have developed a mobile application in Cordova using various plugins. We have used cordova-ios 5.1.1 and built the app and tested using Exported .ipa file with Development Apple certificates/profiles. Now the testing is completed and ready to ship to Apple Store. At that point we got a problem. Apple wants us to use WKWebView instead of UIWebView. This is where all the problem started. We need support to make it compliance to Apple and ship the application to store. Below are the platform and application spec.
