How to disable auto-start AVPlayer in wkwebview video

I want to set alert like Safari, when user click on a video url then it will ask for to play or cancel.

currently when I click on video url(a url inside of a loaded page) it directly play the video in AVPlayer.

enter image description here

How do I implement it without auto-start?

Solution

  • This answer works in my case.

    on click of downloadable link where videos will play I use below delegate of wkwebview:

    func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void) {
    if navigationAction.navigationType == WKNavigationType.linkActivated {
        print("downloadable link")

        // add alert here

        decisionHandler(WKNavigationActionPolicy.cancel)
    }else{
        decisionHandler(WKNavigationActionPolicy.allow)
}

    here(on place of add alert here) you can add the alert same like Safari and use as per your requirement.
