Exactly. because now the page ID can change. Unfortunately, apps will have to adapt to the new behavior.

It's too late for that, they are already part of our public stable API. But I'm open to find a different solution instead of adding this property, and deprecate the existing APIs exposing IDs. We basically need a way to identify the web process attached to a web view to be able to start a communication channel with the injected bundle.

Whatever we decide to do, we need to do it as soon as possible to give applications time to adapt to it before the next stable release (in ~6 months)
