Disable WKActionSheet on WKWebView

Question

I'm migrating an iOS app form UIWebView to WKWebView. So far so good... In the previous app I disabled long press and implemented a custom long press (to do custom handling of links), however I can't get this working in the WKWebView

I've tried the following:

- (void)webView:(WKWebView *)wkWebView didFinishNavigation:(WKNavigation *)navigation {
    [wkWebView evaluateJavaScript:@"document.body.style.webkitTouchCallout='none';" completionHandler:nil];
}

I've checked and that line gets executed, the response of the call is @"None"

But it responds with: Warning: Attempt to present on whose view is not in the window hierarchy!

Any ideas? SOLUTION: Inject javascript into wkwebview now works!

[self.wkWebView evaluateJavaScript:@"document.body.style.webkitTouchCallout='none';" completionHandler:nil];

You stated in your "edit" you have solved it. Would be interesting to know how, it was not clear for me. Any hints? – Uptodate

Sorry for bad description but wasn't sure what really happened. – Fudge

I really need an answer to this... How? Did Apple approve? – Holdall

Not sure what happened, but apple did approve – Fudge

Can you explain how did you solve this problem. thx. All I am trying to have cut.copy, paste menu on long press – Veliz

@DanielÅkesson can you provide an answer for how to present a custom hyperlink handler for a wkwebview with associated custom action sheet? I would love to figure it out and upvote the answer. – Magma

Hi Daniel, as asked above by other people, could you please provide the solution you've found ? It looks like you don't want to share it; it's kind of weird to ask for some help to a community but not be willing to help that community back. – Lamarckism

The javascript injection works for me in later versions. I updated the solution – Fudge

does this work on latest iOS versions? – Wanda

Answer 1

This is the solution in Swift 3.0:

func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
     webView.evaluateJavaScript("document.body.style.webkitTouchCallout='none';")
}

Answer 2

myWkWebView.allowsLinkPreview = false

Just what I've looked for! Thanks! On iOS 13 images in WKWebView become available to preview in a manner of 3D touch preview but even on non-3D touch capable devices. Just with long press. – Flannelette

This is perfect! It works just how I want it to. +1 – Heterotrophic

I haven't verified it, but it looks like you can also use CSS to disable this functionality:

-webkit-touch-callout: none;
