Gray border around web view

[philipjefferies]

After following the instructions to load the app, everything worked and Google.com showed up but the browser was down and to the the right of top left. It almost appears as if a thick gray border is around the web view. I've experimented with full screen but it appears that full screen is already set but the border is preventing it.

I'm in XCode 9.2 running on Apple TV (not the 4K version).

i see the same thing, whats weird is the border only shows up when you place the view on the edge of the screen. If you place the view in the middle of the view and not touching the edge the borders are not there. This really limits the full screen aspect though...

I wish apple would just support the browser in the first place without having to hack around it.

If you guys want to keep the browser, I'd avoid the new tvOS update. I'm running 11.3 beta and Safari won't even install, let alone run, looks like they have removed the tvOS Webview Framework all together. :(

@PlasmaSoftUK I just installed the latest xcode beta, and everything ran fine on the 11.3 tvOS simulator. Are you running on a real device with 11.3?

[PlasmaSoftUK]

Yep, I've tried it with the simulator and with a real device non 4k ATV running 11.3. Get an unusual error on all 3 of my projects that use the WebView, I'll maybe blow out Xcode beta and download a fresh copy, must be something local to me if it works for you.

I've installed the latest Xcode 9.3 beta 4 still giving same error, looks like something is corrupt / broken in my /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks folder. :(

@philipjefferies You can fix the build error by opening a new project and copying the code over (instead of cloning the git repo)

I found a hack! Replace
self.webview = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds];
with
self.webview = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(-100, -80, 2120, 1260)];

This will shift the screen to the left, hiding the grey border. Not a perfect solution, but it works fine for my use case.

@yidan I found this calculation of the webviews frame doesnt show the grey border and takes into account different screen sizes and resolutions.

let uiview = webview as! UIView
uiview.frame = CGRect(x: 90, y: 90, width: view.bounds.width - 90 * 2, height: view.bounds.height - 90 * 2)
