Xamarin Forms Webview Not Displaying On Device

Ive developing a webview app in Xamarin.Forms over the last few days and ive been testing it on an android and iOS emulator and it seems to work just fine in the emulators but when

Solution 1:

Since version 9, iOS will only allow your application to communicate with servers that implement best-practice security by default. Values must be set in Info.plist to enable communication with insecure servers.

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
    <dict>
        <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads </key>
        <true/>
    </dict>

Solution 2:

You must set the two properties HeightRequest and WidthRequest.

WebView requires that HeightRequest and WidthRequest are specified when contained in StackLayout or RelativeLayout. If you fail to specify those properties, the WebView will not render.

Solution 3:

Here is my code to display a webview in a Xamarin.Forms App.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Xamarin;
using Xamarin.Forms;

namespace mynamespace
{
    public class WebsitePage : ContentPage
    {
        public WebsitePage(string url)
        {
            Label lbl_header = new Label
            {
                Text = "WebView",
                HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center
            };
            WebView webview = new WebView
            {
                Source = url,
                VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand
            };
            this.Content = new StackLayout
            {
                Children = {
                     webview
                }
            };
        }
    }
}
