UIWebView objectivists-c using webkit showing depreciated on viewdidload

Question

I'm trying to create a UIWebView in objective-c . I get deprecation error so I tried to use recommended webkit WkWebview but at a point I still get error here

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView{

}

I have tried using it this way but yet get new error Implementing deprecated method

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(WKWebView *)webView{

}

The WKWebView version of webViewDidFinishLoad is this: (in Objective-C syntax)

- (void)webView:(WKWebView *)webView 
didFinishNavigation:(WKNavigation *)navigation {

}

Replacing the UIWebView name with WKWebView on the delegate method webViewDidFinishLoad doesn't work as it is the delegate method for UIWebView. You need to use the original delegate method for WKWebView.

As per documentation, you should use

func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!)

instead of

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView{

}

On migrating to WKWebView you can refer this
