cordova-plugin-ionic-webview @ 2.x vs @1.2.1

Question

We are currently using the cordova-plugin-ionic-webview to enable WKWebView in our phaser app for iOS/Android (I know that cordova-plugin-ionic-webview only serves iOS).

I recently saw the plugin cordova-plugin-ionic-webview@beta i.e. Ionic Web View cordova-plugin-ionic-webview @ 2.x Beta.

My main questions would be:

1. What improvement does it bring over the cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 1.2.1
2. I am a little confused whether it works for Android also
3. Is there any other plugin which could be more suitable for me?
4. After adding this plugin, on iPhone X, the bottom Home Indicator overlaps my app's footer. Any workaround for this since we have a canvas based Phaser framework app and its difficult to use safe area insets.

Tried pasting - (UIRectEdge)preferredScreenEdgesDeferringSystemGestures{ return UIRectEdgeAll; }; in CDVViewController but still doesnt work.
