import UIKit

class SecondViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet var webView: UIWebView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    let url = URL (string: "http://www.sourcefreeze.com");
    let request = URLRequest(url: url!);
    webView.loadRequest(request);
}


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


}

I already asked the same question a year ago and heard that i somehow need to enable a "security setting" in Xcode is this the same case here? Thanks in advance.

Please add the following line in your info.plist(open as source code) file

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
    <true/>
</dict>

For more info please check this Transport security has blocked a cleartext HTTP

Thanks

Open your info.plist as SourceCode and add

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
    <true/>
</dict>

Then do as mentioned below:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
webView.loadRequest(URLRequest(url: URL(string: "http://www.sourcefreeze.com")!))
}

Well It is working perfectly: See the below code:

import UIKit
import SVProgressHUD

class ConditionsViewController: UIViewController, UIWebViewDelegate {

    @IBOutlet weak var webVw: UIWebView!


    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()


        SVProgressHUD.show(withStatus: "Loading")

        webVw.delegate = self

        let url = URL (string: "http://www.sourcefreeze.com");
        let request = URLRequest(url: url!);
        webVw.loadRequest(request);
    }

    func webViewDidFinishLoad(_ webView: UIWebView) {

        SVProgressHUD.dismiss()
    }

Edited

import UIKit
   // import SVProgressHUD

    class ConditionsViewController: UIViewController, UIWebViewDelegate {

        @IBOutlet weak var webVw: UIWebView!


        override func viewDidLoad() {
            super.viewDidLoad()


            SVProgressHUD.show(withStatus: "Loading")

            webVw.delegate = self

            let url = URL (string: "http://www.sourcefreeze.com");
            let request = URLRequest(url: url!);
            webVw.loadRequest(request);
        }

        func webViewDidFinishLoad(_ webView: UIWebView) {

            //SVProgressHUD.dismiss()

            print("Loaded")

// Here it will print 2-3 sec later, in that mean time your page will load in your view controller
        }

Mainly I have added UIWebViewDelegate and its delegate method webViewDidFinishLoad . well try it, it will work definitely .

How did you made that Loading thing?? – Zarkex May 25 '17 at 12:03
No such Module SVProgressHUD – Zarkex May 25 '17 at 12:07
Don't worry about `SVProgressHUD` it is an third party class. without it do that.. – Abhishek Mitra May 25 '17 at 13:07
Ok so i installed SVProgressHUD with Pod but it still says no such module here is my Podfile: – Zarkex May 25 '17 at 14:12
`SVProgressHUD ` isn't required here, its okay if you not give here, look my edited code. it may help you. – Abhishek Mitra May 25 '17 at 14:14
I know but i want SVProgressHUD :) – Zarkex May 25 '17 at 14:15
:D, it's okay but it is a different thing, your question is about loading the web page in webview, which is working and it take little time like 2-3 sec to load the entire page. – Abhishek Mitra May 25 '17 at 14:16
if you have installed pods correctly then in your projectfolder few new files has been added, amongst them you can find yourprojectname.xcworkspace, open it, and now import it to your required class like i have done. – Abhishek Mitra May 25 '17 at 14:21
show me your code, and make sure that you had opened .xcworkspace. – Abhishek Mitra May 25 '17 at 14:24
add `webView.delegate = self` in your `viewDidLoad` and use the delegate method `webViewDidFinishLoad` please see my code, if you copy paste, it will work. – Abhishek Mitra May 25 '17 at 15:07
