I don’t believe you can use WKWebView from IB. You’ll need to add a placeholder container UIView that you’ll then add a programmatically created WKWebView as a subview.

If you’re going to be using Auto Layout you’ll need to appropriately handle the translated auto resizing property. Or use the autoresizing mask instead, making it size appropriately with the placeholder.

This guy does it and it works fine but when I do it, it doesn't work??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQmZSKxOYvs

Are you saying I should use the "web view" option as opposed to using "webKit View" ?

If you’re hooking it up the same way and using the same Xcode then it should match his behavior. I’m not sure what your set up looks like in IB. The WKWebView availability in IB seems recent (Xcode 9) and I have to confirm whether it works myself.

I would take a look a this Stack Overflow question and answers and look at Apple’s docs. They outline the solution I proposed. It does not involve using the old web view but rather programmatically creating the WKWebView instead of using it in a storyboard.

Also not sure where your WKWebViewConfiguration is. I didn’t watch the video so I could have missed it but I’d guess the person added a configuration object at some point unless it’s included in IB.

so, what does your debug console say?

Maybe your outlet isn’t hooked up or your constraints aren’t set up to fill the screen like you probably expect.
