**React Native WebView** is a modern, well-supported, and cross-platform WebView for React Native. It is intended to be a replacement for the built-in WebView (which will be [removed from core](https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/pull/3)).

- Kotlin rewrite
- Maybe Swift rewrite

## Usage

Import the `WebView` component from `react-native-webview` and use it like so:

```jsx
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
import { WebView } from 'react-native-webview';

// ...
class MyWebComponent extends Component {
  render() {
    return <WebView source={{ uri: 'https://reactnative.dev/' }} />;
  }
}
```

## Common issues

- If you're getting `Invariant Violation: Native component for "RNCWebView does not exist"` it likely means you forgot to run `react-native link` or there was some error with the linking process
- If you encounter a build error during the task `:app:mergeDexRelease`, you need to enable multidex support in `android/app/build.gradle` as discussed in [this issue](https://github.com/react-native-webview/react-native-webview/issues/1344#issuecomment-650544648)
