This question was asked before. But my requirement is different. I have a workflow like this
- User login to app using WKWebView()
- User has an invoice tab after logging in through which he can download invoices by clicking a button.
- The issue arises here. While desktop and android apps are able to download pdf , In iOS it's not downloading. I tried many workarounds like "decidePolicyFor", download pdf once its URL is known etc.
- The problem which I think is normal pdf files which needed to be downloaded usually has a ".pdf" at the end of its URL.. ex- "www.xyz.com/books.pdf", However mine is like this - "https://ift.tt/36rDJlE"
- It may be also because the server give access to pdf only if it is authenticated. which is not the case if I try to download using URL directly
Any help will be appreciated
My CodeBase till now
import UIKit
import WebKit
class WebKitViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var webView: WKWebView!
var pdfUrl:URL!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.setViewContext()
}
func setViewContext() {
let url = URL(string: "https://www.example.com")!
webView.navigationDelegate = self
webView.load(URLRequest(url: url))
}
func downloadPDF(fromUrl url:String) {
guard let url = URL(string: url) else { return }
let urlSession = URLSession(configuration: .default, delegate: self, delegateQueue: OperationQueue())
let downloadTask = urlSession.downloadTask(with: url)
downloadTask.resume()
}
@IBAction func openPDFButtonPressed(_ sender: Any) {
let pdfViewController = PDFViewController()
pdfViewController.pdfURL = self.pdfUrl
present(pdfViewController, animated: false, completion: nil)
}}
extension WebKitViewController:WKNavigationDelegate{
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void) {
if let host = navigationAction.request.url {
if host.absoluteString.contains("https://www.example.com/en/my-account/invoicePDF/"){
decisionHandler(.cancel)
print(host.absoluteString)
self.downloadPDF(fromUrl: host.absoluteString)
return
}
}
decisionHandler(.allow)
}
}
extension WebKitViewController: URLSessionDownloadDelegate {
func urlSession(_ session: URLSession, downloadTask: URLSessionDownloadTask, didFinishDownloadingTo location: URL) {
print("downloadLocation:", location)
do {
let documentsURL = try
FileManager.default.url(for: .documentDirectory,
in: .userDomainMask,
appropriateFor: nil,
create: false)
let savedURL = documentsURL.appendingPathComponent("yourCustomName90.pdf")
self.pdfUrl = savedURL
try FileManager.default.moveItem(at: location, to: savedURL)
} catch {
print ("file error: \(error)")
}
}
}
Note - The pdf downloads in macOS safari
from Is it possible to download a pdf from a authenticated session in wkwebview?
