See the online [API Reference](https://pub.dartlang.org/documentation/flutter_inappwebview/latest/) to get the **full documentation**.
Note that the API shown in this `README.md` file shows only a **part** of the documentation and, also, that conforms to the **GitHub master branch only**!
So, here you could have methods, options, and events that **aren't published/released yet**!
If you need a specific version, please change the **GitHub branch** of this repository to your version or use the **online [API Reference](https://pub.dartlang.org/documentation/flutter_inappwebview/latest/)** (recommended).

- Android: `minSdkVersion 17` and add support for `androidx` (see [AndroidX Migration](https://flutter.dev/docs/development/androidx-migration) to migrate an existing app)
If you are starting a new fresh app, you need to create the Flutter App with `flutter create --androidx -i swift`
to add support for `androidx`, otherwise it won't work (see [AndroidX Migration](https://flutter.dev/docs/development/androidx-migration) to migrate an existing app).
If you `flutter create`d your project prior to version `1.12`, you need to make sure to update your project in order to use the new **Java Embedding API**!
Take a look at the official Flutter wiki: [Upgrading pre 1.12 Android projects](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Upgrading-pre-1.12-Android-projects).
Also, you can refer to the [#343](https://github.com/pichillilorenzo/flutter_inappwebview/issues/343) issue.
Remember to add `<meta-data>` tag inside the `<application>` tag of your `android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`:
```xml
<meta-data
android:name="flutterEmbedding"
android:value="2" />
```
as mentioned in the 6th step of [Full-Flutter app migration](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Upgrading-pre-1.12-Android-projects#full-flutter-app-migration) guide.
Because of [Flutter AndroidX compatibility](https://flutter.dev/docs/development/packages-and-plugins/androidx-compatibility), the latest version that doesn't use `AndroidX` is `0.6.0`.
Also, note that to use the `InAppWebView` widget on Android, it requires **Android API 20+** (see [AndroidView](https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/AndroidView-class.html))
or **Android API 19+** if you enable the `useHybridComposition` Android-specific option.
**Support HTTP request**: Starting with Android 9 (API level 28), cleartext support is disabled by default:
- Check the official [Network security configuration - "Opt out of cleartext traffic"](https://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-config#CleartextTrafficPermitted) section.
- Also, check this StackOverflow issue answer: [Cleartext HTTP traffic not permitted](https://stackoverflow.com/a/50834600/4637638).
If you want to use the `ChromeSafariBrowser` class on Android 11+ you need to specify your app querying for `android.support.customtabs.action.CustomTabsService` in your `AndroidManifest.xml` (you can read more about it here: https://developers.google.com/web/android/custom-tabs/best-practices#applications_targeting_android_11_api_level_30_or_above).
On Android, in order to enable/disable debugging WebViews using `chrome://inspect` on Chrome, you should use the `AndroidInAppWebViewController.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(bool debuggingEnabled)` static method.
For example, you could call it inside the main function:
The “Swift Language Version” (SWIFT_VERSION) build setting must be set to a supported value for targets which use Swift. Supported values are: 3.0, 4.0, 4.2, 5.0. This setting can be set in the build settings editor.
Instead, if you have already a non-swift project, you can check this issue to solve the problem: [Friction adding swift plugin to objective-c project](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/16049).

2. Completely disable ATS ([Official wiki](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/nsapptransportsecurity/nsallowsarbitraryloads)): (add following codes to your `Info.plist` file)
*`NSAllowsLocalNetworking`: A Boolean value indicating whether to allow loading of local resources ([Official wiki](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/nsapptransportsecurity/nsallowslocalnetworking));
*`NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsInWebContent`: A Boolean value indicating whether all App Transport Security restrictions are disabled for requests made from web views ([Official wiki](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/nsapptransportsecurity/nsallowsarbitraryloadsinwebcontent)).
### How to enable the usage of camera for HTML inputs such as `<input type="file" accept="image/*" capture>`
In order to be able to use camera, for example, for taking images through `<input type="file" accept="image/*" capture>` HTML tag, you need to ask camera permission.
To ask camera permission, you can simply use the [permission_handler](https://pub.dev/packages/permission_handler) plugin!

To be able to load your local files (assets, js, css, etc.), you need to add them in the `assets` section of the `pubspec.yaml` file, otherwise they cannot be found!
Example of a `pubspec.yaml` file:
```yaml
...
# The following section is specific to Flutter.
flutter:
# The following line ensures that the Material Icons font is
# included with your application, so that you can use the icons in
The plugin relies on Flutter's mechanism (in developers preview) for embedding Android and iOS native views: [AndroidView](https://docs.flutter.io/flutter/widgets/AndroidView-class.html) and [UiKitView](https://docs.flutter.io/flutter/widgets/UiKitView-class.html).

The Android implementation uses [addJavascriptInterface](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView#addJavascriptInterface(java.lang.Object,%20java.lang.String)).
The iOS implementation uses [addScriptMessageHandler](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkusercontentcontroller/1537172-addscriptmessagehandler?language=objc)
The JavaScript function that can be used to call the handler is `window.flutter_inappwebview.callHandler(handlerName <String>, ...args)`, where `args` are [rest parameters](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Functions/rest_parameters).
In order to call `window.flutter_inappwebview.callHandler(handlerName <String>, ...args)` properly, you need to wait and listen the JavaScript event `flutterInAppWebViewPlatformReady`.
`window.flutter_inappwebview.callHandler` returns a JavaScript [Promise](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise)

Class that represents a WebView in headless mode. It can be used to run a WebView in background without attaching an `InAppWebView` to the widget tree.
Remember to dispose it when you don't need it anymore.
As `InAppWebView`, it has the same options and events. Use `InAppWebViewController` to control the WebView instance.
*`open({String url = "about:blank", Map<String, String> headers = const {}, InAppBrowserClassOptions options})`: Opens an `url` in a new `InAppBrowser` instance.
*`openFile({required String assetFilePath, Map<String, String> headers = const {}, InAppBrowserClassOptions options})`: Opens the given `assetFilePath` file in a new `InAppBrowser` instance. The other arguments are the same of `InAppBrowser.open`.

[Chrome Custom Tabs](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/customtabs/package-summary) on Android / [SFSafariViewController](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/sfsafariviewcontroller) on iOS.
If you want to use the `ChromeSafariBrowser` class on Android 11+ you need to specify your app querying for `android.support.customtabs.action.CustomTabsService` in your `AndroidManifest.xml` (you can read more about it here: https://developers.google.com/web/android/custom-tabs/best-practices#applications_targeting_android_11_api_level_30_or_above).
*`static isAvailable`: On Android, returns `true` if Chrome Custom Tabs is available. On iOS, returns `true` if SFSafariViewController is available. Otherwise returns `false`.
*`packageName`: Set the name of the application package to handle the intent (for example `com.android.chrome`), or null to allow any application package.
*`showTitle`: Set to `false` if the title shouldn't be shown in the custom tab. The default value is `true`.
*`toolbarBackgroundColor`: Set the custom background color of the toolbar.
*`entersReaderIfAvailable`: Set to `true` if Reader mode should be entered automatically when it is available for the webpage. The default value is `false`.
*`presentationStyle`: Set the custom modal presentation style when presenting the WebView. The default value is `IOSUIModalPresentationStyle.FULL_SCREEN`.
*`transitionStyle`: Set to the custom transition style when presenting the WebView. The default value is `IOSUIModalTransitionStyle.COVER_VERTICAL`.
This class allows you to create a simple server on `http://localhost:[port]/` in order to be able to load your assets file on a server. The default `port` value is `8080`.
**NOTE for iOS below 11.0 (LIMITED SUPPORT!)**: in this case, almost all of the methods (`CookieManager.deleteAllCookies` and `IOSCookieManager.getAllCookies` are not supported!) has been implemented using JavaScript because there is no other way to work with them on iOS below 11.0. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Cookies#restrict_access_to_cookies for JavaScript restrictions.
*`setCookie({required String url, required String name, required String value, String? domain, String path = "/", int? expiresDate, int? maxAge, bool? isSecure, bool? isHttpOnly, HTTPCookieSameSitePolicy? sameSite, InAppWebViewController? iosBelow11WebViewController})`: Sets a cookie for the given `url`. Any existing cookie with the same `host`, `path` and `name` will be replaced with the new cookie. The cookie being set will be ignored if it is expired.
*`getCookies({required String url, InAppWebViewController? iosBelow11WebViewController})`: Gets all the cookies for the given `url`.
*`getCookie({required String url, required String name, InAppWebViewController? iosBelow11WebViewController})`: Gets a cookie by its `name` for the given `url`.
*`deleteCookie({required String url, required String name, String domain = "", String path = "/", InAppWebViewController? iosBelow11WebViewController})`: Removes a cookie by its `name` for the given `url`, `domain` and `path`.
*`deleteCookies({required String url, String domain = "", String path = "/", InAppWebViewController? iosBelow11WebViewController})`: Removes all cookies for the given `url`, `domain` and `path`.
This class implements a singleton object (shared instance) which manages the shared HTTP auth credentials cache.
On iOS, this class uses the [URLCredentialStorage](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/urlcredentialstorage) class.
On Android, this class has a custom implementation using `android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase` because [WebViewDatabase](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebViewDatabase) doesn't offer the same functionalities as iOS `URLCredentialStorage`.
*`getHttpAuthCredentials({required ProtectionSpace protectionSpace})`: Gets all the HTTP auth credentials saved for that `protectionSpace`.
*`setHttpAuthCredential({required ProtectionSpace protectionSpace, required HttpAuthCredential credential})`: Saves an HTTP auth `credential` for that `protectionSpace`.
*`removeHttpAuthCredential({required ProtectionSpace protectionSpace, required HttpAuthCredential credential})`: Removes an HTTP auth `credential` for that `protectionSpace`.
*`removeHttpAuthCredentials({required ProtectionSpace protectionSpace})`: Removes all the HTTP auth credentials saved for that `protectionSpace`.
On iOS, it is implemented using [WKWebsiteDataStore.default()](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebsitedatastore)
**NOTE for iOS**: available from iOS 9.0+.
#### `WebStorageManager` methods
*`instance`: Gets the WebStorage manager shared instance.
#### `WebStorageManager` Android-specific methods
Android-specific methods can be called using the `WebStorageManager.instance().android` attribute.
`AndroidWebStorageManager` class is used to manage the JavaScript storage APIs provided by the WebView. It manages the Application Cache API, the Web SQL Database API and the HTML5 Web Storage API.
*`getOrigins`: Gets the origins currently using either the Application Cache or Web SQL Database APIs.
*`deleteAllData`: Clears all storage currently being used by the JavaScript storage APIs.
*`deleteOrigin({required String origin})`: Clears the storage currently being used by both the Application Cache and Web SQL Database APIs by the given `origin`.
*`getQuotaForOrigin({required String origin})`: Gets the storage quota for the Web SQL Database API for the given `origin`.
*`getUsageForOrigin({required String origin})`: Gets the amount of storage currently being used by both the Application Cache and Web SQL Database APIs by the given `origin`.
iOS-specific methods can be called using the `WebStorageManager.instance().ios` attribute.
`IOSWebStorageManager` class represents various types of data that a website might make use of. This includes cookies, disk and memory caches, and persistent data such as WebSQL, IndexedDB databases, and local storage.
*`fetchDataRecords({required Set<IOSWKWebsiteDataType> dataTypes})`: Fetches data records containing the given website data types.
*`removeDataFor({required Set<IOSWKWebsiteDataType> dataTypes, required List<IOSWKWebsiteDataRecord> dataRecords})`: Removes website data of the given types for the given data records.
