How can I use WKWebView instead of UIWebView in Xamarin Forms WebView (iOS)

Question

I am working on developing mobile applications using Xamarin.Forms (PCL). I am using Xamarin WebView to display the contents of a web view and I am getting a performance issue in an iOS application. So, I analyzed and found that WKWebView will improve performance.

How can I use WKWebView in Xamarin Forms WebView instead of UIWebView? Is there any custom rendering for this?

Answer 1

Yes, you can create your own rendering using WKWebView.

Please see below and this is the ios rendering class for WebView:

[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(CustomWebView), typeof(CustomWebViewRenderer))] namespace DemoApp.iOS.Renderers { public class CustomWebViewRenderer : ViewRenderer<CustomWebView, WKWebView> { protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<CustomWebView> e) { base.OnElementChanged(e); } } }
