Try to load a url in webviewext
await this.webviewExt.loadUrl(url);

Is there any code involved?

no

If there is JavaScript code invalued inside the webview, this needs to be provided with the project.
no

Same issue.
Did you find any solution?

@miladfm My webpage contains service workers (it is a PWA). For ios versions 17 and above, I am disabling service workers on my web front, and then this error goes away. Not ideal, but as a temporary solution ok.
