import WebKit class ViewController: UIViewController {

@IBOutlet weak var webView: WKWebView!

override func viewDidLoad() {

super.viewDidLoad() let url = URL(string: "http://132.148.136.31:8082")

let urlRequest = URLRequest(url: url!)

webView.load(urlRequest)

WKWebView always has JavaScript enabled, so that’s unlikely to be the problem. I recommend that you verify this by loading some common public web site in your web view.

As to what’s going wrong with your web site, it’s hard to be sure. The first thing to do is implement a navigation delegate and see if you get an error reported. Specifically:

In

viewDidLoad()

, set

self.webView.navigationDelegate

to

self

Change
```
ViewController
```
to conform to
```
WKNavigationDelegate
```

In

ViewController

, implement the ‘did fail’ methods to log an error, for example:

func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFailProvisionalNavigation navigation: WKNavigation!, withError error: Error) {
    NSLog("did fail provisional navigation %@", error as NSError)
}


func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFail navigation: WKNavigation!, withError error: Error) {
    NSLog("did fail navigation %@", error as NSError)
}

.
