iOS 12 Wkwebview Not Working with Redirects

Capture redirect url in wkwebview in ios

Use this WKNavigationDelegate method

public func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Swift.Void) {
        if(navigationAction.navigationType == .other) {
            if let redirectedUrl = navigationAction.request.url {
                //do what you need with url
                //self.delegate?.openURL(url: redirectedUrl)
            }
            decisionHandler(.cancel)
            return
        }
        decisionHandler(.allow)
    }

Hope this helps

WKWebView - Add a parameter to the URL on redirect in Swift - iOS

WKNavigationDelegate, URLComponents

class ViewerViewController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate  //<--
// then whenever you call the WKWebView
//ex: URL = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

WKWebView.navigationDelegate = self

WKWebView.load(URLRequest)

func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void) {

    print("URL:", navigationAction.request.url)
    if let host = navigationAction.request.url?.path 
     {
         if host.contains("Main_Page")
          {
              //You can modify this part to form a new url and pass it again.
              var components = URLComponents()
              components.scheme = navigationAction.request.url?.scheme
              components.host =  navigationAction.request.url?.host
              components.path =  navigationAction.request.url!.path 
                        
             print("new URL:", components.url!)
             let customRequest = URLRequest(url: components.url!)

             //change the url and pass it again..
             WKWebView.load(customRequest) //<--load the new url again..
             decisionHandler(.cancel) 
        }
        else
        {
             decisionHandler(.allow) //<-- this will open the page.
        }
     }
     else
     {
         decisionHandler(.allow)
     }
}

Why is WKWebView not opening links with target=_blank?

My solution is to cancel the navigation and load the request with loadRequest: again. This will be come the similar behavior like UIWebView which always open new window in the current frame.

Implement the WKUIDelegate delegate and set it to _webview.uiDelegate. Then implement:

- (WKWebView *)webView:(WKWebView *)webView createWebViewWithConfiguration:(WKWebViewConfiguration *)configuration forNavigationAction:(WKNavigationAction *)navigationAction windowFeatures:(WKWindowFeatures *)windowFeatures
{
  if (!navigationAction.targetFrame.isMainFrame) {
    [webView loadRequest:navigationAction.request];
  }

  return nil;
}
