[webview_flutter] Handle long press link on ios

[GoodMorrrrning]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues
• I have read the guide to filing a bug

Use case

When I navigate in the iOS app, clicking on a link redirects me to the URL and works as expected. However, if the user long-presses the link, a popup appears:

When the user clicks 'Open Link,' it

Launches the URL in a browser instead of inside the app.

I want this popup to simply disappear. How can I disable it?"

Proposal

I've read this github issue and updated it with my issues and specs : #43792

the solution found in this issue not working with new version of webview_flutter.

#43792 (comment)

@GoodMorrrrning Can you check this and see if it helps in your case or not ?

Hello @darshankawar ,

Thanks for your answer but the popup appear in the same way.
The method evaluateJavascript no longer exists, i used : runJavaScript.

Here is my implementation

onPageFinished: (String url) { controllerGlobal.runJavaScript( 'document.addEventListener("contextmenu", event => event.preventDefault());'); },

Thanks for the update. I think it is better to follow-up in that issue for further updates, so will close this. If you disagree, write in comments and I'll reopen it.

Hello

I understand that this issue seem duplicate, but there are specific reasons that set it apart.
My problem has unique aspects making it distinct. I would appreciate it if you could consider these differences and keep this issue open for further discussions.

here is the reaons why i think this issue may still exist

• The initial github issue fix the problem only for previous versions, webview_flutter is not initilized like this anymore and fix provided works only for thoses earlier versions.

• This popup is in english, i've setup my locales to french and all native tools : copy, paste... are in french but this popup is in english, However when i navigate to the website with native safari (without my app) the popup is in french. I believe other user will have the issue.

• Existing issue is forgotten and has not been updated since 2021.

• Possibility to open link inside or outide the app when pressing "open link".

Maybe we can consider to rename this issue for taking into account problems related to the popup more explicitly ?

Sincerly,

[darshankawar]

Thanks for the feedback. Reopening.
