Issue loading a url in WKWebView using Xcode 7 beta3 - wkwebview

I am doing a quick test on WKWebView to evaluate its benefits and drawbacks. But i have found is that i am able to load urls using Xcode 6.4 and iOS 8 but having issues loading the same URL in Xcode 7 beta 3.
This is what i am doing :
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// First create a WKWebViewConfiguration object so we can add a controller
// pointing back to this ViewController.
WKWebViewConfiguration *configuration = [[WKWebViewConfiguration alloc]
init];
WKUserContentController *controller = [[WKUserContentController alloc]
init];
// Add a script handler for the "observe" call. This is added to every frame
// in the document (window.webkit.messageHandlers.NAME).
[controller addScriptMessageHandler:self name:#"observe"];
configuration.userContentController = controller;
// This is the URL to be loaded into the WKWebView.
NSURL *jsbin = [NSURL URLWithString:k_JSBIN_URL3];
// Initialize the WKWebView with the current frame and the configuration
// setup above
_webView = [[WKWebView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame
configuration:configuration];
// Load the jsbin URL into the WKWebView and then add it as a sub-view.
[_webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:jsbin]];
[self.view addSubview:_webView];
}
Is there something wrong i am doing or its just the beta version of Xcode and iOS 9?
Thanks,

It's broken in xcode 7 (Beta)/Swift 2.0 as far as I can see.
I'm using Beta 5 but had the same problem with some earlier Betas.
Fingers crossed it will be fixed in the next beta. I'm sure it will be in the final release.
Maybe they've intentionally blocked it's use due to some issues with Swift 2.0 that they haven't fixed yet.

In Xcode 7 and iOS 9 you're going to run into problems when using a URL without a SSL certificate.
Adding a certificate will "solve" this issue.
You could also implement the new SFSafariViewController.
Using a domain with without SSL will result in a blank page at least in iOS 9.0.1.

The goback function of WKWebView does not execute javascript code

In UIWebView, if i call the function goback, the previous page will be present and execute its js code and set title on navigation bar. However, this do not work in wkwebview, it seems that wkwebview cache something and the js code is not executed.
I think the WKWebView is actually the more correct behaviour regarding the load event.
I have found that the pageshow event is better suited for code that needs to run on navigation changes.
Something like this should work in the WKWebView:
window.addEventListener('pageshow', function(event) {
// We were just shown again. Either initial load or due to
// navigation.
});
I was having a similar problem and the webpage was't being reloaded (on iOS 9.2 or higher versions) because it was showing a cached one, when calling goBack.
'Fixed' that clearing the cache data before calling goBack on the WKWebView. I still don't know if it is an iOS bug or Apple just decided to change the default behaviour from iOS 9.2.
In Objective-C would be something like this:
- (void)goBack {
[self cleanCacheWithCompletionHandler:^{
[super goBack];
}];
}
- (void)cleanCacheWithCompletionHandler:(void (^)(void))completionHandler {
if ([WKWebsiteDataStore class]) {
NSSet *websiteDataTypes = [NSSet setWithArray:#[ WKWebsiteDataTypeDiskCache,
WKWebsiteDataTypeMemoryCache]];
NSDate *dateFrom = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:0];
[[WKWebsiteDataStore defaultDataStore] removeDataOfTypes:websiteDataTypes modifiedSince:dateFrom completionHandler:completionHandler];
} else {
completionHandler();
}
}
Note that I subclassed WKWebView in the sample code and that you have to check the availability of WKWebsiteDataStore as it is new to iOS 9.

UIPageViewController memory leak

It seems that UIPageViewController is holding the initial content view controller forever.
For example:
DataViewController *startingViewController = [self.modelController viewControllerAtIndex:0 storyboard:self.storyboard];
NSArray *viewControllers = #[startingViewController];
[self.pageViewController setViewControllers:viewControllers direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated:NO completion:NULL];
self.pageViewController.dataSource = self.modelController;
The startingViewController is never released until the pageViewController itself it released.
To reproduce this bug, just create a new project in XCode using the Page-Based Application template. And add 3 lines of code into DataViewController.m
#property NSInteger debugIndex; // file scope
NSLog(#"DataViewController[%d] created", self.debugIndex); // in viewDidLoad
NSLog(#"DataViewController[%d] dealloc", self.debugIndex); // in dealloc
And when you scroll the demo App in vertical orientation, you'll get logs like this:
DataViewController[0] created
DataViewController[1] created
DataViewController[2] created
DataViewController[1] dealloc
DataViewController[3] created
DataViewController[2] dealloc
DataViewController[4] created
DataViewController[3] dealloc
DataViewController[5] created
DataViewController[4] dealloc
DataViewController[6] created
DataViewController[5] dealloc
DataViewController[0] is never deallocated.
Any ideas about this?
Thanks!
Are you using transitionStyle UIPageViewControllerTransitionStyleScroll? I encountered the same or a similar problem which seemed to disappear when using page curl animations instead.
The problem was compounded for me because I was allowing a UISliderBar to set the position in the content. So on change of the UISliderBar, I was calling setViewControllers:direction:animated:completion: which caused more and more view controller references to get "stuck" in my UIPageViewController.
I am also using ARC. I have not found an acceptable way to force the UIPageViewController to let go of the extra view controller references. I will probably either end up using the page curl transition or implementing my own UIPageViewController equivalent using a UIScrollView with paging enabled so I can manage my own view controller cache instead of relying on UIPageViewController's broken view controller management.
I'm not sure you still got the problem, but I had the same problem and I found the solution.
I don't know the reason, but it works.
I'm setting the first viewController right after addSubview, rather than before addChlidViewController.
-(void)settingPageViewController{
if (!self.pageViewController) {
self.pageViewController = [[UIPageViewController alloc]initWithTransitionStyle:UIPageViewControllerTransitionStyleScroll navigationOrientation:UIPageViewControllerNavigationOrientationHorizontal options:nil];
self.pageViewController.delegate = self;
self.pageViewController.dataSource = self;
[self addChildViewController:self.pageViewController];
[self.pageViewController didMoveToParentViewController:self];
[self.containerView addSubview:self.pageViewController.view];
[self.pageViewController setViewControllers:#[[self viewcontrollerAtIndex:0]] direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated:NO completion:nil];
}
}
and the first viewController will dealloc in the right time.
also, I found if call
[self.pageViewController setViewControllers:#[[self viewcontrollerAtIndex:0]] direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated:NO completion:^(BOOL finished){
NSLog(#"finished : %d",finished);
}];
before addSubView and the completion block will not call.
and I reckon this block is the reason why the first viewController didn't dealloc.
I'll go find out why it didn't callback, and improve the answer~
cheers
After a few attempts to figure out what was happening on a similar issue, I noticed that in my project there were 2 reasons that caused a retain problem and resulted in having a UIPageViewController being forever retained.
1) there was a circular reference between the UIPageViewController and the UIViewcontroller that was presented (this was fixed by changing the properties to weak from strong in both classes)
2) and the main fix consisted in changing
[self setViewControllers:#[initialDetailsViewController] direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated:YES completion:nil];
to
__weak __typeof__(self) weakSelf = self;
[weakSelf setViewControllers:#[initialDetailsViewController] direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirectionForward animated:YES completion:nil];
I hope this helps someone
same problem here
i resolved it by keeping my initial viewController in the variable
and instead of creating the same vc on particular pageIndex i just reuse it
I had same problem and solved the following:
[startingViewController release]; where the end point of initialization.
then the first ViewController will be deallocated.

do runloops/multi-threading/timers behave differently on iOS6?

I just installed Xcode 4.5 to start testing some code on iOS6 devices.. I wanted my existing code to be runnable on both iOS 5 and iOS 6 obviously. The same code (below) that used to work on Xcode 4.3 stopped working on Xcode 4.5:
-(BOOL)readFromRingBuffer
{
NSDate *fireDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0];
ringBufferReaderTimer = [[NSTimer alloc] initWithFireDate:fireDate
interval:0.25
target:self
selector:#selector(readRingBufferDataBit)
userInfo:NULL
repeats:YES];
NSRunLoop *runLoop = [NSRunLoop currentRunLoop];
[runLoop addTimer:ringBufferReaderTimer forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode];
}
I had to put this line for the method to fire:[ringBufferReaderTimer fire]; (didn't have to do this on XCode 4.3)
but then it would go through the method once and nothing would happen.. in general.. I see weird things happening.. is there something I need to know about threading in iOS6 that I'm not aware of? A quick googling doesn't tell me much..

iOS 6 and Location Services not working

I've updated my iOS SDK to version 6. After that I've compiled my app (works fine in iOS 4 & iOS 5) but now the location services doesn't work. My delegate isn't receiving any update and the upper location arrow is not appearing... I'm starting the service as the usual way:
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
My project is non ARC.
What is happening? This is driving me crazy...
Thanks in advance.
Make sure you have a CFBundleDisplayName in your project's .plist file. Adding that key fixed it for me.
Just set the property pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically of Location Manager to NO. This is a new feature of IOS 6 that disable Location Updates when application runs in background. The default value of this property is YES.
This is a change in iOS6:
You need to implement locationManager:didUpdateLocations: instead of locationManager:didUpdateToLocation:fromLocation to be notified when the location is updated.
You should also read the documentation about startUpdatingLocation.
In my case, I had the location manager under a different class and I was calling this class from the main controller. This was not working and the didUpdateLocations was not called.
//
// LocationServices.h
//
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>
#interface LocationServices : NSObject <CLLocationManagerDelegate> {
CLLocationManager *locationManager;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) CLLocationManager *locationManager;
- (void)startLocationServices;
#end
// LocationServices.m
#import "LocationServices.h"
#implementation LocationServices
#synthesize locationManager, currentLocation;
- (void)startLocationServices {
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
locationManager.delegate = self;
locationManager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically = NO;
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters;
if ([CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled]) {
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
} else {
NSLog(#"Location services is not enabled");
}
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations {
CLLocation* location = [locations lastObject];
NSLog(#"Updated: latitude %+.6f, longitude %+.6f\n",
location.coordinate.latitude,
location.coordinate.longitude);
}
#end
// Main controller
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
.....
LocationServices *locationSerices = [[LocationServices alloc]init];
[locationSerices startLocationServices];
......
}
The above code does not work. Why? I do not know ....you can easily lose interest when you spend so much time trying to do a thing that is supposed to be simple. iOS is very complicated and unfriendly programming environment. There are many ways to do one thing, only one works, you cannot mix and match without introducing a problem. You have to do everything by the book or you or you get nothing. Not even a hint that you did something wrong ... frustrating ...
Instead when I implemented
locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:
in the main controller everything worked fine
The issue seems to be resolved in IOS 6.1 Beta2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFZR0eMUV74
setting CFBundleDisplayName solved the problem for me. Same thing location update was never called, just set the info.plist parameter and it start working.
I've tried everything in plist files, cleans, rebuilds, new targets, configurations, etc, etc, etc. Nothing worked. But FINALLY I've fixed it. I had to create a new Xcode 4.5 project from scratch, reconfigure it, add file by file and framework by framework manually. It seems that my old XCode project had something internally incompatible with last XCode. I write this here because maybe it can save someone's next 10 hours of work.
Am I being too simplistic here? Under Privacy, Locations looks the same as it did in previous issues.What's all the fuss about?

Migration issues with UIManagedDocument

I started using CoreData in my application following Stanford CS193P lessons regarding the use of iOS 5's new class UIManagedDocument. The approach itself is quite straightforward but I can't understand how to deal with model modifications i keep making. This is how I instantiate my UIManagedDocument object (inside the appDelegate, so that every other class can use it):
if (!self.database) {
NSURL *url=[[[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask] lastObject];
url = [url URLByAppendingPathComponent:#"AppName"];
UIManagedDocument *doc = [[UIManagedDocument alloc] initWithFileURL:url];
NSDictionary *options = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption,
[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption, nil];
doc.persistentStoreOptions = options;
self.database=doc;
[doc release];
}
The issue I have is that every time I change even a little bit of my .xcdatamodel, I am unable to get all the content previously stored in the document as well as to create any new instance. As a matter of fact doing this generates the following exception:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'This NSPersistentStoreCoordinator has no persistent stores. It cannot perform a save operation.'
I thought setting the "options" property of the managed document would have solved the problem, but apparently this isn't enough.
Anyone can help? Couldn't' find other questions that actually fit my precise needs.
Before you modify your Core Data model, you should "Add Model Version".
1.
Select the original model file. (e.g. YourProject.xcdatamodel)
2.
"Editor" -> "Add Model Version...". Then add a new model version (e.g. 2.0)
3.
You will get a new model file. (e.g. YourProject 2.0.xcdatamodel). Modify it.
4.
Change the current model version. Select the top .xcdtatmodel file -> "View" -> "Utilities" -> "Show File Inspector". Find the tag "Versioned Core Data Model" and choose the right version you want to modify.
It also disturbed me for a long long time. Hope this way can help you ^^
There is a really simple solution to your problem. Simply erase the app from the simulator or device (touch the app icon for a few seconds, and touch the cross that appears when the app icons start wiggling). That way, Xcode updates your app's UIManagedDocument.
Make sure that you did not mistype NSDocumentDirectory as NSDocumentationDirectory.
NSURL *url = [[[NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory inDomains:NSUserDomainMask] lastObject];
NSDocumentDirectory is right!
