I faced same issue, in my case i could fix it WITHOUT using base64 encoding and GCDWebServer. Scenario: WkWebView loading is through string html WkWebView is using local .css Fonts are local and are added at top level project Entries for fonts are provided in appName-info.plist under key UIAppFonts / Fonts provided by application (Note: … Read more
To solve this you need a WKUIDelegate for your web view. It is the duty of the delegate to decide if an alert should be displayed, and in what way. You need to implement this for alert, confirm and text input (prompt). Here is sample code without any validation of the page url or security … Read more
There are a few things you can check: Verify that the <a href links doesn’t contain target=”_blank” attribute since WKWebView doesn’t know how to open the link in a new tab. see https://stackoverflow.com/a/25853806/810466 for how to work around that. Check if the link is HTTPS or update the App Transport Security Settings with the Allow … Read more
You are correct – it doesn’t seem to work. If you look in the headers, you’ll see: – (instancetype)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder NS_UNAVAILABLE; which implies that you can’t instantiate one from a nib. You’ll have to do it by hand in viewDidLoad or loadView.
No I don’t believe it is possible due to the multi-process architecture of WKWebView. WKWebView runs in the same process as your application but it communicates with WebKit which runs in its own process (Introducing the Modern WebKit API). The JavaScript code will be running in the WebKit process. So essentially you are asking to … Read more
Updated for Swift 4, Xcode 9.3 This methods allows WKWebView to properly read your hierarchy of directories and sub-directories for linked CSS, JS and most other files. You do NOT need to change your HTML, CSS or JS code. Solution (Quick) Add the web folder to your project (File > Add Files to Project) Copy … Read more
Updated Swift 5 version: WKWebsiteDataStore.default().removeData(ofTypes: [WKWebsiteDataTypeDiskCache, WKWebsiteDataTypeMemoryCache], modifiedSince: Date(timeIntervalSince1970: 0), completionHandler:{ }) Swift version: if #available(iOS 9.0, *) { let websiteDataTypes = NSSet(array: [WKWebsiteDataTypeDiskCache, WKWebsiteDataTypeMemoryCache]) let date = NSDate(timeIntervalSince1970: 0) WKWebsiteDataStore.defaultDataStore().removeDataOfTypes(websiteDataTypes as! Set<String>, modifiedSince: date, completionHandler:{ }) } else { var libraryPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSSearchPathDirectory.LibraryDirectory, NSSearchPathDomainMask.UserDomainMask, false).first! libraryPath += “/Cookies” do { try NSFileManager.defaultManager().removeItemAtPath(libraryPath) } catch … Read more
This is actually a tough one because there’s a) some bug that’s still not solved by Apple (I think) and b) depends on what cookies you want, I think. I wasn’t able to test this now, but I can give you some pointers: Getting cookies from NSHTTPCookieStorage.sharedHTTPCookieStorage(). This one seems buggy, apparently the cookies aren’t … Read more
Right now, WKWebView instances will ignore any of the default networking storages (NSURLCache, NSHTTPCookieStorage, NSCredentialStorage) and also the standard networking classes you can use to customize the network requests (NSURLProtocol, etc.). So the cookies of the WKWebView instance are not stored in the standard Cookie storage of your App, and so NSURLSession/NSURLConnection which only uses … Read more
Update 2022 According to one of the comments below, this hack doesn’t work anymore. Yes, we can enable App cache by accessing private API Create a category for WKPreferences and add to following method signature. @interface WKPreferences (MyPreferences) – (void)_setOfflineApplicationCacheIsEnabled:(BOOL)offlineApplicationCacheIsEnabled; @end (I tried performSelector:withObject: but it didn’t work. No idea why) After initializing the WKWebView, … Read more
