React Native WebView component for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows
npm install @dr.pogodin/react-native-webview
NOTE: _This is a customized fork of the upstream
react-native-webview
library. It follows latest upstream releases, and applies on top of them selected
fixes and PRs, faster than the ages it takes to merge them into the upstream._
To use this fork remove the original react-native-webview dependency from
your package.json, then install the forked package as
``shell`
npm install --save @dr.pogodin/react-native-webview
then replace imports in your TypeScript code by@dr.pogodin/react-native-webview imports.
Current Differences from the Upstream:
- Upstream issue #3014
/ Upstream PR #3575
— Android: Accept the input focus only when a touch on WebView hits
a focusable (text input) element inside the WebView's content.
- Upstream issue #3289
/ Upstream PR #3290
— Android: Trigger onError callback on asset loading errors.
- Upstream issue #3317
/ Upstream PR #3318 — Android, iOS, macOS: Support of window.print() function.
- Scaffolding of Example App in the repo
is reset to that used by creact-react-native-library.
- Some dependencies are updated to their newer versions.

React Native WebView is a community-maintained WebView component for React Native. It is intended to be a replacement for the built-in WebView (which was removed from core).
Many thanks to these companies for providing us with time to work on open source.
Please note that maintainers spend a lot of free time working on this too so feel free to sponsor them, it really makes a difference.

Sponsor me ❤️ !
Windows and macOS are managed by Microsoft, notably:
- Alexander Sklar (Twitter @alexsklar) from React Native for Windows
- Chiara Mooney from React Native for Windows @ Microsoft
Shout-out to Jamon Holmgren from Infinite Red for helping a lot with the repo when he had more available time.
Maintaining WebView is very complex because it is often used for many different use cases (rendering SVGs, PDFs, login flows, and much more). We also support many platforms and both architectures of react-native.
Since WebView was extracted from the React Native core, nearly 500 pull requests have been merged.
Considering that we have limited time, issues will mostly serve as a discussion place for the community, while we will prioritize reviewing and merging pull requests.
This project is compatible with iOS, Android, Windows and macOS.
This project supports both the old (paper) and the new architecture (fabric).
This project is compatible with expo.
Read our Getting Started Guide. If any step seems unclear, please create a pull request.
This project follows semantic versioning. We do not hesitate to release breaking changes but they will be in a major version.
Import the WebView component from react-native-webview and use it like so:
`tsx
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview';
// ...
const MyWebComponent = () => {
return
}
`

- If you're getting Invariant Violation: Native component for "RNCWebView does not exist" it likely means you forgot to run react-native link or there was some error with the linking process:app:mergeDexRelease
- If you encounter a build error during the task , you need to enable multidex support in android/app/build.gradle` as discussed in this issue
