WKWebView not receiving configuration from previous WebView - swift

Question

I'm trying to receive the configuration that , to my understanding, should have been transmitted from a the previous website. The example below is a website that has a simple login button, when pressed, it opens a new tab (which I want to open in the same view). There you'd login and after that you would be brought back to the previous site.
The website can also be visited in a normal browser website
Its an open source project found here Github
I have the following code:
ContentView
import SwiftUI
import UIKit
import WebKit
struct ContentView: View {
var webView: WKWebView
init() {
let userContentController = WKUserContentController() //CustomContentController()
let webViewConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
webViewConfiguration.userContentController = userContentController
self.webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: webViewConfiguration)
self.webView.configuration.limitsNavigationsToAppBoundDomains = true
self.webView.configuration.preferences.javaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically = true
}
var body: some View {
WebviewNew(web: webView, req: URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://vasb2-4yaaa-aaaab-qadoa-cai.ic0.app/")!))
}
}
WebViewNew
struct WebviewNew : UIViewRepresentable {
let request: URLRequest
var webview: WKWebView?
init(web: WKWebView?, req: URLRequest) {
self.webview = web ?? WKWebView()
self.request = req
}
class Coordinator: NSObject, WKUIDelegate, WKNavigationDelegate {
var parent: WebviewNew
init(_ parent: WebviewNew) {
self.parent = parent
}
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, createWebViewWith configuration: WKWebViewConfiguration, for navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, windowFeatures: WKWindowFeatures) -> WKWebView? {
if navigationAction.targetFrame == nil {
let newWebView = WKWebView(frame: webView.frame, configuration: configuration)
newWebView.uiDelegate = self
newWebView.load(navigationAction.request)
//
return newWebView
// webView.load(navigationAction.request)
}
return nil
}
}
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
Coordinator(self)
}
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView {
return webview!
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) {
uiView.uiDelegate = context.coordinator
uiView.load(request)
}
func goBack(){
webview?.goBack()
}
func goForward(){
webview?.goForward()
}
func reload(){
webview?.reload()
}
}
This solution does somehow not work. When clicking the Login Button on the website inside the WKWebView nothing happens. When setting a breakpoint in func webView one can see that it gets passed but somehow nothing happens.
When altering the WebViewNew like this:
struct WebviewNew : UIViewRepresentable {
let request: URLRequest
var webview: WKWebView?
init(web: WKWebView?, req: URLRequest) {
self.webview = web ?? WKWebView()
self.request = req
}
class Coordinator: NSObject, WKUIDelegate, WKNavigationDelegate {
var parent: WebviewNew
init(_ parent: WebviewNew) {
self.parent = parent
}
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, createWebViewWith configuration: WKWebViewConfiguration, for navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, windowFeatures: WKWindowFeatures) -> WKWebView? {
if navigationAction.targetFrame == nil {
// Changed HERE
webView.load(navigationAction.request)
}
return nil
}
}
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
Coordinator(self)
}
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView {
return webview!
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) {
uiView.uiDelegate = context.coordinator
uiView.load(request)
}
func goBack(){
webview?.goBack()
}
func goForward(){
webview?.goForward()
}
func reload(){
webview?.reload()
}
}
With a change in func webView it opens the login page but it seems to be missing the context as the login does not know who made the request.
In the open source website the login button can be found here
Why is my solution not working and what could make it work?
