To expand upon what Randy said, this is what I use in my application to make every http://, https://, and mailto:// URL open in the external Safari or Mail applications: -(BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType; { NSURL *requestURL =[ [ request URL ] retain ]; if ( ( [ [ requestURL scheme ] isEqualToString: @”http” … Read more
The standard workaround for UIWebView is to set a UIWebViewDelegate, and implement the method webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType:. In your JavaScript code, navigate to some fake URL that encodes the information you want to pass to your app, like, say: window.location = “fake://myApp/something_happened:param1:param2:param3”; In your delegate method, look for these fake URLs, extract the information you need, take … Read more
I found that by adding “-webkit-transform: translateZ(0px);” to the scrollable content (I have a div inside my scrollable container), it fixed the issue for me. Hope this helps.
Updated answer for iOS 11 and macOS 10.13 Since iOS 11 it is possible to declare an object that conforms to the WKURLSchemeHandler protocol and register it in the WKWebView configuration: -[WKWebViewConfiguration setURLSchemeHandler:forURLScheme:]. Old answer WKWebView makes requests and renders content out-of-process, meaning your app does not hear the requests they make. If you are … Read more

Apple released new APIs for iOS 9 and newer versions, so now we can remove domain-specific cookies stored for WKWebView with the below code. Swift 4/5 version: let dataStore = WKWebsiteDataStore.default() dataStore.fetchDataRecords(ofTypes: WKWebsiteDataStore.allWebsiteDataTypes()) { records in dataStore.removeData( ofTypes: WKWebsiteDataStore.allWebsiteDataTypes(), for: records.filter { $0.displayName.contains(“facebook”) }, completionHandler: completion ) } Below is the Swift 3 version let … Read more
Try setting the URL to about:blank and reload the page.
You can do it like this: – (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView { NSString *cssString = @”body { font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 50px }”; // 1 NSString *javascriptString = @”var style = document.createElement(‘style’); style.innerHTML = “https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33123093/%@”; document.head.appendChild(style)”; // 2 NSString *javascriptWithCSSString = [NSString stringWithFormat:javascriptString, cssString]; // 3 [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:javascriptWithCSSString]; // 4 } What this code does: // 1 : … Read more
It worked when i modified the string like this. Your right chris, it shouldn’t make any difference. NSString *myDescriptionHTML = [NSString stringWithFormat:@”<html> \n” “<head> \n” “<style type=\”text/css\”> \n” “body {font-family: \”%@\”; font-size: %@;}\n” “</style> \n” “</head> \n” “<body>%@</body> \n” “</html>”, @”helvetica”, [NSNumber numberWithInt:kFieldFontSize], content];

Also, I’d make the background transparent, using [webView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]] so that you have an easier time making things look as they should. Here’s a code sample: – … Read more
