Are you sure you have already searched for the same problem?

Some people open new issues but they didn't search for something similar or for the same issue. Please, search for it using the GitHub issue search box or on the official inappwebview.dev website, or, also, using Google, StackOverflow, etc. before posting a new one. You may already find an answer to your problem!

If this is really a new issue, then thank you for raising it. I will investigate it and get back to you as soon as possible. Please, make sure you have given me as much context as possible! Also, if you didn't already, post a code example that can replicate this issue.

In the meantime, you can already search for some possible solutions online! Because this plugin uses native WebView, you can search online for the same issue adding android WebView [MY ERROR HERE] or ios WKWebView [MY ERROR HERE] keywords.

Following these steps can save you, me, and other people a lot of time, thanks!

I want to remove the override and remove some calls from it, so it may be breaking for you but for me it is working

This worked for me, thank you! 👏 Maybe you can raise a PR and see if it gets accepted?

[lucas-sesti]

Same issue here, hope they accept your PR.

In iOS 18.0 beta, the closure of the evaluateJavaScript method was changed in the iOS 18.0 beta, causing the error, so it seems that only the method needs to be changed in the override

Before
public override func evaluateJavaScript(_ javaScriptString: String, completionHandler: ((Any?, Error?) -> Void)? = nil)

After
open override func evaluateJavaScript(_ javaScriptString: String, completionHandler: (@MainActor (Any?, (any Error)?) -> Void)? = nil)

@GabriellArthur
Thanks for the fork version but I am getting this error also.
Any idea on how to fix this?

@GabriellArthur Thanks for the fork version but I am getting this error also. Any idea on how to fix this?

Fixed it. It was because I didn't update the xcodebuild cli version to the latest 16

why is this closed

How you update xcodebuild cli version to 16?

this is giving my this error, any ideas?

Could not find a file named "pubspec.yaml" in https://github.com/GabriellArthur/flutter_inappwebview.git caa355f.

Could not find a file named "pubspec.yaml" in https://github.com/GabriellArthur/flutter_inappwebview.git caa355f.

Try adding path to your configuration like this:

flutter_inappwebview:
  git:
    url: https://github.com/GabriellArthur/flutter_inappwebview.git
    # Add this
    path: flutter_inappwebview
    ref: master

Reason: The default path is the root of the url you provide, and the required pubspec.yaml file should exist in the provided path which in our case, does not. That's why we need to navigate to a path that contains a pubspec.yaml which in our case, I assume to be the dart library flutter_inappwebview and not a platform-specific implementation like flutter_inappwebview_android.

This issue should not be marked as closed because the solution is not merged yet.

[antOnioOnio]

Is this going to be merged soon?

[Tomic-Riedel]

We really do need this now that Xcode 16 is out of beta (and the issue still exists).

[thanhnn-bap-jp]

Just updated Xcode 16 and got this issue. Please merge.

[AndreTsao]

Why u closed this issue? the author of (https://github.com/pichillilorenzo/flutter_inappwebview) has not solved it.

[sapar-io]

Why the issue is closed??

[alaudiero]

The issue should not be closed because the problem is not resolved yet.

[fwilliamconceicao]

@pichillilorenzo are you having some trouble understanding the issue wasn't solved yet and only the @GabriellArthur PR it's the solution?

[arrrrny]

My new package zikzak_inappwebview fork of this package that I will keep maintaining. Thanks @pichillilorenzo for developing/maintaining this package for a long time. I guess he is busy or on vacataion. I am the builder of Flutter Vendure (open source headless commerce framework) package. Vendure Please open your PRs here and I am happy to check them and merge them by Monday.

[GabriellArthur]

Guys, the issue was closed a while ago because it was a temporary solution but I believe that with the new XCode 16, there is already a PR waiting for review.
