[Solved] QtWebView on ios confusion

clogwog

from a few places i read that a non native UIWebView browsers are not allowed on ios by apple, but on
http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/43920
i read that QtWebView is available for ios.

when i run a @import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Controls 1.3
import QtWebKit 1.0

Item {

width: 300
height: 300

WebView {
     id: test
     anchors.fill: parent
     width: parent.width
     height: parent.height
     smooth: true
     url: "http://qt-project.org"
 
 }

}@

on the ios simulator and on my device i get a
@qrc:/Webview.qml:4:1: module "QtWebKit" is not installed@

what should i be able to expect on Qt 5.4 for ios ?

Hi,

The name is a bit confusing…
Anyway, you are currently using QtWebKit and it's WebView element and not QtWebView which is what you are looking for

i'm still confused then.

is: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtwebkit-webview.html
the right one that should work on ios ?

if i use @import QtWebKit 3.0@ as per documentation
and leave the rest the same, i still see the problem of
@qrc:/Webview.qml:3:1: module "QtWebKit" is not installed@

is there something else i would need to change or is it just my environment, and it should work ?

Don't use QtWebKit on iOS or Android for that matter.

See the "mini browser example":https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtwebview/source/examples/webview/minibrowser/ from the QtWebView repository

thank you ! the example made it all good :)

especially

@#ifdef QT_WEBVIEW_WEBENGINE_BACKEND
#include <QtWebEngine>
#endif // QT_WEBVIEW_WEBENGINE_BACKEND
@
and

@#ifdef QT_WEBVIEW_WEBENGINE_BACKEND
QtWebEngine::initialize();
#endif // QT_WEBVIEW_WEBENGINE_BACKEND
@

in the main, and

@qtHaveModule(webengine) {
QT += webengine
DEFINES += QT_WEBVIEW_WEBENGINE_BACKEND
}@

in the .pro file
