Webview not working with iOS9

Question

I had created app which is not working with iOS 9.

import UIKit

    class WebViewController: UIViewController, UIWebViewDelegate {

        @IBOutlet var webView: UIWebView!
        override func viewDidLoad()
        {
            super.viewDidLoad()
            // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

            let requestURL = NSURL(string:"http://stackoverflow.com")
            let request = NSURLRequest(URL: requestURL!)
            webView.loadRequest(request)

            webView.delegate = self

        }

        override func didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        {
            super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
            // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
        }

        func webViewDidStartLoad(webView: UIWebView)
        {
            print("Load started")
            UIApplication.sharedApplication().networkActivityIndicatorVisible = true
        }
        func webViewDidFinishLoad(webView: UIWebView)
        {
            print("Load finished")
            UIApplication .sharedApplication().networkActivityIndicatorVisible = false

        }
        func webView(webView: UIWebView, didFailLoadWithError error: NSError?)
        {
            print("Error = ", error)
        }
        func webView(webView: UIWebView, shouldStartLoadWithRequest request: NSURLRequest, navigationType: UIWebViewNavigationType) -> Bool
        {
            print("URl ", request.URL?.absoluteString)
            return true
        }
    }

Showing this message.

In IOS 9 Nd Later we need to add NSAppTransportSecurity in Info.Plist Open Info.Plist As source code and copy and paste this at the end. NSAppTransportSecurity NSAllowsArbitraryLoads — Uma Madhavi, Oct 20 '15 at 10:12
I wouldn't say this *needs* to be done. Ideally you should try and use secure connections where possible. i.e. HTTPS rather than HTTP. — Matt Le Fleur, Oct 20 '15 at 10:45
Also is the same code that caused this error? Because the error is throwing up an error loading Stack Overflow, not Google as in your code. So for this example (based on your error) use `https://stackoverflow.com` since Stack Overflow does support HTTPS connections. — Matt Le Fleur, Oct 20 '15 at 10:46

You have to add this in your .plist file

Add a NSAppTransportSecurity : Dictionary.
Add Subkey named : NSAllowsArbitraryLoads as Boolean : YES

Hopefully this will help you.

Set the NSAllowsArbitraryLoads key to YES under NSAppTransportSecurity dictionary in your .plist file. If NSAppTransportSecurity not exist manually write it.
