iOS: Loading a website into a webview

Question

I am trying to load a website into a webview which I've been able to do before. But I can't seem to get it to load correctly. I have looked all over Stack and other forums for a solution but I can't seem to figure it out.

My .h file is as follows:

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ScheduleView : ViewController
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIWebView *webview;

@end

and my .m:

#import "ScheduleView.h"

@interface ScheduleView ()
@end
@implementation ScheduleView

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    NSString *urlstring = @"http://www.google.com";
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlstring];
    NSURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    [_webview loadRequest:urlRequest];

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];

@end

Whenever I try to run my application, it will launch as intended but when I navigate to the ViewController containing the WebView, it will just show a blank screen. And I have tried to use other websites other than google.

This is my first time posting so if I need to give more information, please let me know and I will do my best to reply swiftly.

EDIT:

After putting in the break point on

[super viewDidLoad];

it did come back "nil"

Breakpoint

What does this mean? How do I fix it?

Put a breakpoint in `viewDidLoad` and verify that `_webview` is not `nil`. Make sure your outlet is connected. — rmaddy, Sep 09 '16 at 16:57
BTW - you have a property, use it. Change `[_webview loadRequest:urlRequest];` to `[self.webview loadRequest:urlRequest];`. — rmaddy, Sep 09 '16 at 16:57

Since you are using http://www.google.com You might see below error in your logs

Transport security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://) resource load since it is insecure. Temporary exceptions can be configured via your app's Info.plist file.

add these to your info.plist and try

and make sure, that you have created the connection between your webview and .h file
