Call JavaScript function from native code in WKWebView

by

(I filed a Radar for this shortly after asking the question here.)

A new method was just added a few days ago (thanks jcesarmobile for pointing it out):

Add -[WKWebView evaluateJavaScript:completionHandler:]
http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/169765

The method is available in iOS 8 beta 3 and up. Here’s the new method signature:

/* @abstract Evaluates the given JavaScript string. 
 @param javaScriptString The JavaScript string to evaluate. 
 @param completionHandler A block to invoke when script evaluation completes
     or fails. 
 @discussion The completionHandler is passed the result of the script evaluation
     or an error. 
*/ 
- (void)evaluateJavaScript:(NSString *)javaScriptString
         completionHandler:(void (^)(id, NSError *))completionHandler;

Docs are available here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview/1415017-evaluatejavascript.
