WKNavigationDelegate methods not called

Question

I'm trying to write a controller with a webview and I need WKNavigationDelegate methods, the problem is that these methods are not being executed at all.

This is my controller:

import UIKit import WebKit public class WebViewController: UIViewController { private let webView: WKWebView = WKWebView() override public func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() webView.navigationDelegate = self webView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true view = webView } } extension WebViewController: WKNavigationDelegate { private func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didCommit navigation: WKNavigation!) { debugPrint("didCommit") } private func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) { debugPrint("didFinish") } private func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFail navigation: WKNavigation!, withError error: Error) { debugPrint("didFail") } }

This controller is being added to a top view controller using a container view, also the webview loads the website correctly. Has anyone had a similar problem or knows if I'm doing something wrong

Ok just a hint, try to remove private from each Delegate methods and try. — Shabir jan

It looks like you are adding private with WKWebViewDelegate Methods, Remove those like this and it will work.

extension ViewController: WKNavigationDelegate { func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didCommit navigation: WKNavigation!) { debugPrint("didCommit") } func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) { debugPrint("didFinish") } func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFail navigation: WKNavigation!, withError error: Error) { debugPrint("didFail") }

} Try this out, Also don't forgot to load URL in WebView or whatever you want to load.

That doesn't work and I'm loading the url correctly

Well i created demo project and these Delegates methods are all being fired.

The public visibility was necessary, stupid mistake. Thanks

BTW explicit marking these delegates Public are not necessary.

Are you sure Shabir? Have you tried that? I've tested without the public modifier and it doesn't work, XCode also presents the following message: "Instance method 'webView(_:didCommit:)' nearly matches optional requirement..."
