Capture Redirect Url In Wkwebview In Ios
Answer :
Use this WKNavigationDelegate
method
public func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Swift.Void) { if(navigationAction.navigationType == .other) { if navigationAction.request.url != nil { //do what you need with url //self.delegate?.openURL(url: navigationAction.request.url!) } decisionHandler(.cancel) return } decisionHandler(.allow) }
Hope this helps
(This answers the slightly more general question of how to detect a URL redirection in WKWebView, which is the search that lead me to this page.)
Short answer
Use WKNavigationDelegate
's webView(_:didReceiveServerRedirectForProvisionalNavigation:)
function and examine WKWebView
's URL
property.
Longer answer
There are a couple of places you could detect a server-side redirect.
On iOS 10.3.3 and iOS 11.0, the sequence of events I observe when loading a URL that gets redirected by the server is:
The
WKNavigationDelegate
functionwebView(_:decidePolicyFor:decisionHandler:)
is called for the original URL request.WKWebView
'sURL
property is set to the original URL.The
WKNavigationDelegate
functionwebView(_:didStartProvisionalNavigation:)
is called for the original URL request.WKWebView
'sURL
property is set to the original URL.The
WKWebView
'sURL
property is updated by WebKit to the redirection URL. (You'll only know about this if you are key-value observing the property.)The
WKNavigationDelegate
functionwebView(_:decidePolicyFor:decisionHandler:)
is called for the redirected URL request.WKWebView
'sURL
property is then redirection URL.The
WKNavigationDelegate
functionwebView(_:didReceiveServerRedirectForProvisionalNavigation:)
is called.WKWebView
'sURL
property is the redirection URL.
(Note: On the iOS 11.0 simulator I have seen steps 3 and 4 reversed, with the URL
property unchanged in webView(_:decidePolicyFor:decisionHandler:)
, which actually seems like a sensible ordering, but I haven't observed this on a device.)
It seems like the webView(_:didReceiveServerRedirectForProvisionalNavigation:)
is built explicitly for the purpose of detecting redirects so is probably the preferred option, although the redirect could be possibly be inferred at steps 3 or 4 but only if you can be sure that there are no other causes of navigational change.
