Hi surbhis32650692,

I still experience the same issue. I am using Animate CC to build Air for iOS app. HTML files downloaded to the iOS app's documentsDirectory on the iPad does not load from the stagewebview.

When you wrote that you have tried at your end using 28.0.0.112, where are the local HTML files located that you are able to load through stagewebview?

Do you have a source file or actionscript line by line that you can share?

Regards.

Hi,

Please Find the sample code which is working fine for us. Please Try this and let us know if this works fine for you as well. Also attaching the html file used.

var source:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("elements.html");
trace(source.exists);
var fp:String = new File(source.nativePath).url;

OR

var source:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("elements.html");
var destination:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("page.html");
source.copyTo( destination, true );
trace(destination.exists);
var fp:String = new File(destination.nativePath).url;

try
{
  webView.loadURL(fp);

}

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/xxxx.css" type="text/css" />

<script language="javascript" src="js/xxxxx.js"></script>

<img src="./image/xxx.jpg" />

These tags do not work.

Hi surbhis32650692,

I tried your code with the elements.html, it worked. It only works if the HTML contains plain text. However, it does not work with more complex HTML that contains graphics and included JS files. Also, it threw an file not found error if it was trying to open an HTML file redirected from index.html that is in the same applicationStorageDirectory.

I believe this is the same problem same as kofl stated in his message above.

So this issue is not fixed. So far we still cannot use the new AIR for iOS since AIR26. We still have to stick with the old version. However, it's preventing us from fixing issue that occurs in iPhone X.

Please investigate this bug. Thank you.

Hi Pravishti,

I have a kind of similar issue, I am trying to load an aspx page from Flex app through StageWebView and with the AIR 29 Beta.

It taking too long to load the pages.

Is it a known issue?

Hi,

Can you please provide a sample of reproducible resources so that we can investigate further.

Thanks,

HI Pravisthi,

We don't have sample code to reproduce it. As per my findings, callback function for flash.events.Event.COMPLETE event is taking a while on desktop and taking more time ( more than 20 mins ) in iOS.

Please find the below code snippet which calls StageWebView custom component :

stgWebViewComponent.source = url + parameters + "&" + signature;

stgWebViewComponent.hideWebView();

stgWebViewComponent.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleContentLoadingComplete);

function handleContentLoadingComplete(evt:Event):void

{

stgWebViewComponent.showWebView();

stgWebViewComponent.includeInLayout = true;

stgWebViewComponent.visible = true;

stgWebViewComponent.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleContentLoadingComplete);

}

Regards,

Sravanthi

I have been having a similar issue; it seems to boil down to the change from UIWebView to WKWebView and our inability to update this configuration on the WKWebView

wkwebview.configuration.preferences.setValue(true, forKey: "allowFileAccessFromFileURLs")

If we could edit this configuration and set it to true as in the snippit then we should be able to load our local content properly within the WKWebView. Until then I am forced to use Air 25 and the previous version of Adobe Animate

I have been having a similar issue too, and I am forced to use Air SDK 25 too !
