Using WebKit View

Loading a URL into your app is as easy! Just add and configure a WebKit View, which replaces UIWebView starting iOS 8.

Step 0: Add WebKit to your project

Add WebKit to your project's "Linked Frameworks and Libraries"

Step 1: Add WebKit View (not UIWebView) to Storyboard

Drag and drop a WebKit View from the Object Library to the main view of your ViewController. Drag the edges of the view to adjust it's size.

Step 2: Create a custom ViewController file

Choose: File -> New -> File...-> iOS -> Cocoa Touch Class

Step 3: Create an Outlet for the UIWebView

Create an outlet for the WebView by ctrl + dragging from the WebView in the Storyboard to your custom ViewController swift file.

Step 4: Create Constant for URL

Above the viewDidLoad method, create a constant to hold your URL string. We will link to the DropBox mobile terms url.

let url = "https://www.dropbox.com/terms?mobile=1"

Step 5: Convert String and Load Request

Within the viewDidLoad method...

// Convert the url String to a NSURL object.
let requestURL = URL(string:url)
// Place the URL in a URL Request.
let request = URLRequest(URL: requestURL!)
// Load Request into WebView.
webView.loadRequest(request)

Step 6: Add Networking Permissions
