webview_flutter

WebView for Flutter (Developers Preview)

A Flutter plugin that provides a WebView widget.

On iOS the WebView widget is backed by a WKWebView; On Android the WebView widget is backed by a WebView.

Developers Preview Status

The plugin relies on Flutter's new mechanism for embedding Android and iOS views. As that mechanism is currently in a developers preview, this plugin should also be considered a developers preview.

Known issues are tagged with the platform-views and/or webview labels.

To use this plugin on iOS you need to opt-in for the embedded views preview by adding a boolean property to the app's Info.plist file, with the key io.flutter.embedded_views_preview and the value YES.

Keyboard support - not ready for production use

Keyboard support within webviews is experimental. The Android version relies on some low-level knobs that have not been well tested on a broad spectrum of devices yet, and therefore it is not recommended to rely on webview keyboard in production apps yet. See the webview-keyboard for known issues with keyboard input.

iOS
