Saving WebView to PDF returns blank image?

by

iOS 11.0 and above, Apple has provided following API to capture snapshot of WKWebView.

@available(iOS 11.0, *)
    open func takeSnapshot(with snapshotConfiguration: WKSnapshotConfiguration?, completionHandler: @escaping (UIImage?, Error?) -> Swift.Void)

Sample usage:

func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {

        if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
            webView.takeSnapshot(with: nil) { (image, error) in
                //Do your stuff with image
            }
        }
    }

iOS 10 and below, UIWebView has to be used to capture snapshot. Following method can be used to achieve that.

func webViewDidFinishLoad(_ webView: UIWebView) {

        let image = captureScreen(webView: webView)
        //Do your stuff with image
    }

func captureScreen(webView: UIWebView) -> UIImage {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(webView.bounds.size)
        webView.layer.render(in: UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!)
        let image: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
        return image
    }
