Answer 1

There are couple of UIWebViewDelegate such as shouldStartLoadWithRequest or webViewDidStartLoad or webViewDidFinishLoad or didFailLoadWithError that help you to accomplish your goal. If you want to perform operation after view did finished then implement this delegate method

Swift 3

if let currentURL = webView.request?.url?.absoluteString{
         print(currentURL)
    }

as it mentioned here.
