Hello, I am new to Swift programming. I am trying to load a simple website on navigation controller with the help of WKWebView. But I am unable to continue with it. As I am facing an error with line

let URL = let url = URL(string: "https://www.google.com")!

I need to know two things

  1. What does the error mean?
  2. How can I resolve it?
Solution

  • The error is pretty clear. You need to pass a URLRequest object as parameter.

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