UiWebView display in fullscreen

Question

the code below performs the display of a UiViewController, which contains a UiWebView, the UiWebView must be displayed in fullscreen while it is displayed as the image below, I tried in all the ways I know by modifying the storyboard, via swift programming , below you find the view code and the source repo can you explain how to put this ui webview on the fullscreen, do I also attach the simulator image?

Your UIWebView already constrained to superView but myWebView's UIWebBrowserView shows under the safeArea. By the way UIWebView was deprecated, please check the link below.

Just change the UIWebView to WKWebView

• Import WebKit

import WebKit

---

• Initialize it

These Italian comments from OP's github repo so knowingly adding them here

//Definizione della UIWebView
var myWebView = WKWebView()

---

• Change loadRequest lines to

myWebView.load(request)

---

• In viewDidLoad

myWebView = WKWebView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0,
                                            width: view.frame.width,
                                            height: view.frame.height))

And run!
