WKWebview not lading HTTPS images on iOS 18 beta

self.subTitleWebview.loadHTMLString(CommonUtility.getModifiedMediaBaseUrlInHTML(htmlToShow: htmlToShow), baseURL: Bundle.main.bundleURL)

above is my code to load html string but unable to load https remote images

Hi,

You can try WKURLSchemeHandler to load your images.

For example: Say we have a defined custom handler such as:

    
    func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, start urlSchemeTask: WKURLSchemeTask) {
        guard let url = urlSchemeTask.request.url else {
            return
        }
        let type = url.lastPathComponent 
...

You can check the type and decide on how to load the asset (locally, remotely, handling certain types of images, etc).

            if let resource = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "image", withExtension: "png"),
               let resourceData = try? Data(contentsOf: resource) {
                data = resourceData
                response = URLResponse(
                    url: url,
                    mimeType: "image/png",
                    expectedContentLength: data!.count,
                    textEncodingName: nil)
            }
        } else if type == LocalObjectType.https.rawValue {
            if let resource = URL(string: "https://pngimg.com/uploads/frisbee/frisbee_PNG21.png"),
               let resourceData = try? Data(contentsOf: resource) {
                data = resourceData
                response = URLResponse(
                    url: url,
                    mimeType: "image/png",
                    expectedContentLength: data!.count,
                    textEncodingName: nil)
            }
        } else if type == LocalObjectType.pdf.rawValue {
            if let resource = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "image", withExtension: "pdf"),
               let resourceData = try? Data(contentsOf: resource) {
                data = resourceData
                response = URLResponse(
                    url: url,
                    mimeType: "application/pdf",
                    expectedContentLength: data!.count,
                    textEncodingName: nil)
            }
        }
        if let response = response, let data = data {
            urlSchemeTask.didReceive(response)
            urlSchemeTask.didReceive(data)
            urlSchemeTask.didFinish()
        }

The remote images should load if you handle the resource type appropriately.
