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"

// As a property or local variable
NSString *urlString = @"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!)
webkitView.load(request)

// Convert the url String to a NSURL object.
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];

// Place the URL in a URL Request.
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url
                                         cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData
                                     timeoutInterval:10.0];
// Load Request into WebView.
[self.webkitView loadRequest:request];

Step 6: Add Networking Permissions
