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 within webviews is also experimental. The above tags also surface known issues with keyboard input. Some currently known keyboard issues, as of webview_flutter version 0.3.10+4:

• Keyboard persists after tapping outside text field
• WebView's text selection dialog is not responding to touch events

Setup

iOS

Opt-in to 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.

Usage

Add webview_flutter as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

You can now include a WebView widget in your widget tree. See the WebView widget's Dartdoc for more details on how to use the widget.
