[HowTo] Implementable URL call processing method

Let's take a look at the following three methods of handling URL calls that can be implemented in iOS Webview.

Connection to Safari

A specific URL connection method through an existing browser app.

Derive the result of moving away from the current app and move to another app(Safari).

let url = URL(string: "https://sunggweon.dev")
UIApplication.shared.open(url!, options: [:])

WKWebview

WKWebView에 Back/Forward Button 만들기 (opens new window)

It can be customized as desired, and can be used from within the app. But there is no back button in WKWebView. You have to make it all from scratch.

import WebKit

@IBOutlet var webView: WKWebview!

// Create URL object
let url = URL(string: "https://sunggweon.dev")
let request = URLRequest(url: url!)

self.webView.load(request)

SFSafariViewController

Back/forward, bookmark, and share functions used in the Safari app are supported as they are, but can be used inside the app.

import SafariServices

// Create URL object
let url = URL(string: "https://sunggweon.dev")
let safariViewController = SFSafariViewController(url: url)

// Transition
present(safariViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
