SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill eliminates the complexity of integrating interactive web content into native macOS apps, handling platform-specific WebKit quirks, backward compatibility, and secure configuration out of the box.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Native SwiftUI WebView (macOS 26+): Embed web content with the built-in SwiftUI WebView and WebPage API for seamless integration without representable wrappers.
  • Backward-Compatible WKWebView Wrapping: Use NSViewRepresentable to wrap WKWebView for older macOS versions, with full access to navigation and UI delegates for fine-grained control.
  • Full WebKit Workflow Support: Implement bidirectional JavaScript-native communication, custom URL scheme handling for bundled assets, PDF export from web content, and secure file download management with save panels.
  • Use Case: Build a macOS app that displays internal web-based documentation, processes interactive web forms, and lets users export pages to PDF with proper sandbox entitlements and App Store compliance.

Quick Start

Use the swiftui-webkit-macos skill to add a fully functional embedded web view with JavaScript bridge and PDF export support to your macOS SwiftUI app.
