iOS WebViews

iOS WebViews

This guide shows how to embed a Cordova-enabled WebView component within a larger iOS application. For details on how these components can communicate with each other, see Application Plugins.

Support for WebViews for iOS started with Cordova version 1.4, using a Cleaver component for which the Xcode template serves as a reference implementation. Cordova 2.0 and later versions only support the subproject-based Cleaver implementation.

These instructions require at least Cordova 4.x and Xcode 8.0, along with a config.xml file from a newly created iOS project. You can use the procedure in The Command-Line Interface to create a new project, then obtain the config.xml file from within the named application's subdirectory within platforms/ios.

To follow these instructions, make sure you have the latest Cordova distribution. D
