| # WebView for Flutter (Developers Preview) |
| |
| [](https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/webview_flutter) |
| |
| A Flutter plugin that provides a WebView widget. |
| |
| On iOS the WebView widget is backed by a [WKWebView](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview); |
| On Android the WebView widget is backed by a [WebView](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/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](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/labels/a%3A%20platform-views) and/or [webview](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/labels/p%3A%20webview) 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`: |
| |
| * [Input needs to be tapped twice to be registered on Samsung |
| devices](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/35867) |
| * [Keyboard behavior is buggy after a |
| resize](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/36978) |
| * [Keyboard persists after tapping outside text |
| field](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/36478) |
| |
| ## 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](https://flutter.io/platform-plugins/). |
| |
| 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. |
