Bad news - local file loading in a WKWebView is borked ever since iOS 8 beta 4.
Not sure if there is some sort of new security model for loading local files in WKWebView >= beta 4.WKWebView cannot load local files in its app bundle anymore you get a blank screen, when on the device. Simulator seems fine. I found this out when updating my beta 3 iPhone to beta 5 yesterday. I downgraded back, but this beta unfortunately expires in 7 days on Aug 21, 2014. 1. https://devforums.apple.com/message/1011583 2. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24882834/wkwebview-not-working-in-ios-8-beta-4/24922619#24922619 3. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7288 4. rdar://problem/17761459 5. rdar://problem/17835098 On Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 12:05 PM, Marc Weiner <mhweiner...@gmail.com> wrote: > Same!
