TOWebViewController is an Objective-C UIViewController subclass for iOS that embeds an inline web browser with navigation controls and a progress bar, so users can view web pages without leaving the app. It is built on the now-deprecated UIWebView and is defunct on iOS 13+, where Apple rejects apps using UIWebView.
Use cases
- show a web page inside my iOS app without opening Safari
- embed an in-app browser view controller in Objective-C
- add back/forward/refresh navigation to an embedded web view
- display web content with a page load progress bar
- support inline browsing on old iOS versions like iOS 7
When to choose
- you must support very old iOS versions (iOS 5-12) with an inline browser
- you need a ready-made web view controller UI in an legacy Objective-C codebase
When to avoid
- targeting iOS 13 or later, since UIWebView apps are rejected by Apple
- starting a new project - use WKWebView or SFSafariViewController instead
- you need ongoing support or new features
