Why my WKWebview inside my UIScrollView is not displayed?

Question

I need to add a WKWebview to load web content, inside the content view of UIScrollView.

I'm using the Apple code to load a web page, my outlet viewForWebview is linked correctly, and didFinish is called.

class ViewController: UIViewController, WKUIDelegate, WKNavigationDelegate {

    var webView: WKWebView!
    @IBOutlet var viewForWebview: UIView!

    override func loadView() {
        super.loadView()
        let myConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
        webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: myConfiguration)
        webView.uiDelegate = self
        webView.navigationDelegate = self
        viewForWebview = webView
    }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let url = URL(string: "https://www.google.com.au")
        let request = URLRequest(url: url!)
        webView.load(request)
    }

    func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
        print("Finished navigating to url \(String(describing: webView.url))")
    }

    func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFail navigation: WKNavigation!, withError error: Error) {
        print(error)
    }
}

But my the WKWebview is blank:

Just to test, I tried to display the WKWebview directly inside the content view of the scroll view, and it works.

Why is it not working as subview of the content?

Don't override loadView for such actions , you need

class ViewController: UIViewController, WKUIDelegate, WKNavigationDelegate {

    var webView: WKWebView!
    @IBOutlet var viewForWebview: UIView!


    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()


        let myConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
        webView = WKWebView(frame:.zero, configuration: myConfiguration)
        webView.uiDelegate = self
        webView.navigationDelegate = self
        viewForWebview.addSubview(webView)
        webView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
            webView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: viewForWebview.topAnchor),
            webView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: viewForWebview.bottomAnchor),
            webView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: viewForWebview.leadingAnchor),
            webView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: viewForWebview.trailingAnchor)

        ])

        let url = URL(string: "https://www.apple.com")
        let request = URLRequest(url: url!)
        webView.load(request)
    }

    func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
        print("Finished navigating to url \(String(describing: webView.url))")
    }

    func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFail navigation: WKNavigation!, withError error: Error) {
        print(error)
    }
}
