Webview application in Swift 4.2

Question

I'm trying to load an HTML page that is located in my local directory. It shows me this error "failed to load: data/Anctors.json" Also, this page works fine on Firefox but not working on Google Chrome. My code:

var webView: WKWebView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    webView = WKWebView()
    webView.navigationDelegate = self
    view = webView
    let url = URL(string: "file:///Users/rashid/Documents/Developers/Swift/www/index.html")!
    webView.load(URLRequest(url: url))

    let refresh = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .refresh, target: webView, action: #selector(webView.reload))
    toolbarItems = [refresh]
    navigationController?.isToolbarHidden = false
}

func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
    title = webView.title
}

You have to use Bundle.main.url(forResource: <#T##String?#>, withExtension: <#T##String?#>) method to load resources from within the app Refer the following link for more detailed answer (Possible Duplicate)

"file:///Users/rashid/Documents/Developers/Swift/www/index.html" This is my file url path – Rashid Latif Jan 21 '19 at 10:20
This is my Absolute path where i have all the html files and folders – Rashid Latif Jan 21 '19 at 10:21
Try this - Bundle.main.url(forResource: "index", withExtension: "html") – Milan Jan 21 '19 at 10:22
Drag and drop the index.html below the Project in Xcode and check Copy item if needed and try the same code – Milan Jan 21 '19 at 10:28

Please add this code for allow content from document directory:

self.webView.loadFileURL( htmlfilePath, allowingReadAccessTo: documentDirUrl)

and make sure your html file and other content both are in same directory.
