As some of you may have noticed, Apple recently implemented the WKWebView (from WebKit) as an object in the Interface Builder; however, I am having difficulty with properly implementing it. I am still able to implement it by code, but implementing it via the Interface Builder has proven to be a bit of a pain.
The WKWebView appears blank on launch, and although the NSTextField appears to work when configured, the WKWebView continues to remain blank and doesn't even call upon didStartProvisionalNavigation, didCommit or didFinish when implemented (whereas, when done programatically, this continues to work).

Note: I did attempt to implement it using the WebConfiguration as well, but no luck either. Now I'm just trying to keep the code as simplistic as possible to get a better understanding as to why this is not working.
ViewController.swift
import Cocoa
import WebKit
class WindowController: NSWindowController {
override func windowDidLoad() {
super.windowDidLoad()
// Configure Window Appearance
window!.titlebarAppearsTransparent = true
window!.isMovableByWindowBackground = true
window!.title = ""
window!.backgroundColor = NSColor.white
}
}
class ViewController: NSViewController, WKUIDelegate, WKNavigationDelegate {
let myURL = "https://google.com"
#IBOutlet var webView: WKWebView!
#IBOutlet var pageTitle: NSTextField!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Load Homepage URL in WebView
webView.load(URLRequest(url: URL(string: myURL)!))
}
}
So as it turns out, the WKWebView refuses to become active while there is an entitlements file in your project. In my case, I had the App Sandbox enabled with the following settings:
com.apple.security.network.server – YES
com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write – YES
Once deleting the entitlements file and removing it entirely from the project, the WKWebView began to work again.

For some reason, the WKWebView just shows a blank screen with no errors
import Cocoa
import WebKit
class ViewController: NSViewController, WKNavigationDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var webView: WKWebView?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
webView?.navigationDelegate = self
let url=URL(string: "https://www.google.com")
webView?.load(URLRequest(url: url!))
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
override var representedObject: Any? {
didSet {
// Update the view, if already loaded.
}
}
}
Like I said, no errors, and it just shows a blank screen.
The storyboard looks like this:
Main.storyboard
You need to allow your application to have outgoing connections.
In your Target go to Capabilities, enable the App SandBox and check the Outgoing Connections.
I'm trying to create a MacOS app that plays audio or video files. I've followed the simple instructions on Apple's website here
But I want to use the File > Open menu items to bring up an NSOpenPanel, and pass that to the View Controller.
So presumably, the Open action should be in the AppDelegate, as the ViewController window might not be open.
And then pass the filename to a new instance of the ViewController window.
Is that right? If so, how do I "call" the View from AppDelegate?
Here's the AppDelegate:
#NSApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {
#IBAction func browseFile(sender: AnyObject) {
let dialog = NSOpenPanel();
if (dialog.runModal() == NSModalResponseOK) {
let result = dialog.url // Pathname of the file
if (result != nil) {
// Pass the filepath to the window view thing.
} else {
// User clicked on "Cancel"
return
}
}
}
and here's the ViewController:
class ViewController: NSViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var playerView: AVPlayerView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Get the URL somehow
let player = AVPlayer(url: url)
playerView.player = player
}
There are some details not disclosed in your question, but I believe I can provide the proper answer still.
You can call NSOpenPanel from AppDelegate, nothing wrong with that. Just note that user may cancel the dialog and how to handle that situation.
Considering the view the best thing is to create WindowController that is connected to the ViewController (it is like that by default) in the Storyboard, then access it from the code using NSStoryBoard.instantiateController(withIdentifier:), and then use its window property with something like window.makeKeyAndOrderFront(self) . If you have NSWindow or NSWindowController class in your code then you should initialize the class in the code and again make window key and front.
I'm a beginner on TVOS.
I'd like to create an hybrid app on AppleTV using a native app and TVMLKIT.
My native application is just a simple native app with buttons (using swift).
When we click on a button, I launch a a javascript app using TVLMKIT and TVJS.
My TVJS as uses the Player to display a video.
When the video is over, I want to close the TVJS app and back to the native ViewController.
My problem is that when I back to native app, I loose the focus on my native View (the app is frozen).
native ViewController:
import UIKit
import TVMLKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, TVApplicationControllerDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
var appController: TVApplicationController?
var appControllerContext = TVApplicationControllerContext();
static let TVBaseURL = "http://localhost:9001/"
static let TVBootURL = "\(ViewController.TVBaseURL)/client/js/application.js"
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#IBOutlet weak var label: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var viewAd: UIView!
#IBAction func clickOnlaunchAd(sender: AnyObject) {
window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds)
guard let javaScriptURL = NSURL(string: ViewController.TVBootURL) else {
fatalError("unable to create NSURL")
}
appControllerContext.javaScriptApplicationURL = javaScriptURL
appControllerContext.launchOptions["BASEURL"] = ViewController.TVBaseURL
appController = TVApplicationController(context: appControllerContext, window: window,delegate: self)
}
#IBAction func clickOnChangeText(sender: AnyObject) {
label.text = "changed";
}
func appController(appController: TVApplicationController, didStopWithOptions options: [String : AnyObject]?) {
self.setNeedsFocusUpdate()
self.updateFocusIfNeeded()
}
func appController(appController: TVApplicationController, evaluateAppJavaScriptInContext jsContext: JSContext){
let notifyEventToNative : #convention(block) (NSString!) -> Void = {
(string : NSString!) -> Void in
print("[log]: \(string)\n")
self.appController?.stop()
}
jsContext.setObject(unsafeBitCast(notifyEventToNative, AnyObject.self), forKeyedSubscript: "notifyEventToNative")
}
}
Just before calling "notifyEventToNative" from my TVJS, I call "navigationDocument.clear();" to clear the TVML view.
I can see my native app but I can't interact with it.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I also had the same problem. I was opened a TVML document from the UIViewController. And I also lost the focus. So, first of all I can advice you to override var called preferredFocusedView in your ViewController. In this method you can return reference to viewAd. But the better solution would be to wrap your ViewController into the TVML-item (with the TVMLKit framework). In that case I hope that you will have no problems with focus because you will use TVML during the whole application.
I would like to create some formatted text using HTML in my OS X program. I am programing in swift. I created a web view and set up a simple test.
import Cocoa
import RealmSwift
import WebKit
class invociegenerator: NSViewController {
#IBOutlet var InvoiceView: WebView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
var htmlString:String! = "<br /><h2>Hello World!!</h2>"
InvoiceView.loadHTMLString(htmlString, baseURL: nil)
// Do view setup here.
}
}
I receive an error saying "WebView does not have a member named 'LoadHTMLString'" I must be missing something, is it possible to load from a string in an OS X program? There are plenty of tutorials online but the all focus on iOS.
"loadHTMLString" is a method on a WebFrame object not WebView. However, Webview does have a method that returns the mainFrame for the webview. So you could just call mainFrame on the webview like this.
InvoiceView.mainFrame.loadHTMLString(htmlString, baseURL: nil)
I have very little knowledge about Swift, xCode or Objective-C but I have read/watch a lot of tutorials and my only intention is to create a webview with notification in webkit wrapper such as this Cocoa application provided by xCode.
Currently I have my code that can pretty much run when I build it.
import Cocoa
import WebKit
class ViewController: NSViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var webView: WebView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let urlString = "https://irccloud.com"
self.webView.mainFrame.loadRequest(NSURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: urlString)!))
}
override func webView(sender: WebView!, runJavaScriptAlertPanelWithMessage message: String!, initiatedByFrame frame: WebFrame!) {
}
override var representedObject: AnyObject? {
didSet {
// Update the view, if already loaded.
}
}
}
Now, if I access irccloud url directly I'm able to receive both sound and banner notification, but I'm wondering how can I make this notification able to display like native Mac app written in Swift?
This app able to do that, but it's in Objective-C https://github.com/jnordberg/irccloudapp
