An In-App Browser, No UIKit Required

By M. HOSSAIN — Staff Writer — Page A14

Showing a web page inside a SwiftUI app used to mean wrapping WKWebView in a UIViewRepresentable, writing a coordinator to forward navigation delegate calls, and pushing KVO updates back into SwiftUI state by hand. iOS 26 replaces all of that with two types from WebKit. WebView is a SwiftUI view. WebPage is an @Observable object holding everything about the loaded page: its title, URL, loading progress and history.

This recipe builds a small reader browser that opens one of this blog’s own recipes, with a progress bar, the page title, back and forward buttons, a share button, and a Summarize button that runs JavaScript on the page to list its sections and estimate the reading time. Continued on Page A14.
