I have the following UIViewRepresentable that loads a webview.
struct SViewerWebView: UIViewRepresentable{ var url: String var token: String @Binding var isLoading: Bool
func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator { Coordinator(self) } func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView { let webConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration() let webView = WKWebView(frame:.zero,configuration:webConfiguration) webView.allowsBackForwardNavigationGestures = true webView.isInspectable = true webView.navigationDelegate = context.coordinator return webView } func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) { guard let urlforRequest = URL(string: url) else { print("❌ Invalid URL:", url) return } var request = URLRequest(url: urlforRequest) request.addValue("Bearer \(token)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization") print("🔄 Loading URL:", url) print("🛠 Headers:", request.allHTTPHeaderFields ?? [:]) uiView.load(request) } //coordinator class Coordinator: NSObject, WKNavigationDelegate { var parent: SViewerWebView init(_ parent: SViewerWebView) { self.parent = parent } func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) { DispatchQueue.main.async { self.parent.isLoading = false // Hide loading when page loads } } func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFail navigation: WKNavigation!, withError error: Error) { DispatchQueue.main.async { self.parent.isLoading = false // Hide loading on error } } }
}
This is the state before the content loads. At this point a ProgressView() is displayed:
The problem comes in the step between screenshot 1 and 3: as you can see in below pictures, before navigating to the webview content, there is a default loading text that still showing up. Apparently, it seems to be the default behavior from the wkwebview. How can I hide that text status?
my view component:
var body: some View { ZStack{ SViewerWebView(url: webUrl,token: TokenManager.getToken()!,isLoading: $isLoading) if isLoading{ VStack { ProgressView() .progressViewStyle(CircularProgressViewStyle()) .scaleEffect(1.5) } .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) .background(Color.white) } } .ignoresSafeArea() }
