Solved Qt5.8 QML WebView on iOS never fires signals

[eLim]

Hey,
As part of an app I'm building for work, I'm using the QML WebView. Currently compiling with Qt 5.8.

Every time the URL is changed in the WebView I monitor it and react accordingly. On Android, MacOS and Windows everything works fine. But on iOS, onLoadingChanged and onUrlChanged are never fired at all, even though the pages are clearly changing. I've called QtWebView::initialize() in my main function, so that shouldn't be the cause.

Is this a known bug? And if so, is there a workaround for it?

@jsulm We determined that the issue was javascript-related. The page was using javascript to perform the redirect, and iOS didn't like that.

Thanks for the help, though!

@eLim To check whether it is a known bug you should check https://bugreports.qt.io/secure/Dashboard.jspa
How do you connect to the signals? Can you show relevant code?

Hi @eLim

I am also facing the same issue in my Qt iOS application. Could you please help me to understand what part of javascript, iOS is restricting as I am using Angular to develop the web application.
Could you please provide more information what you did to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance.
