  Fewer integration steps	Fewer options for troubleshooting

• Native iOS WebView

Native iOS WebView

This section describes how to embed the Web Client in a native iOS WebView.

Permissions and Settings

No specific permissions are needed as we cannot access the camera due to native WebView limitations for iOS.

Embedding the Required Script

To allow Jumio to identify the user runtime environment, you will need to embed a required script that sets the flag __NVW_WEBVIEW__ to true to interact with the webview window object. For details, see the sample code below.

Sample App

Check out our Sample App for the Native iOS WebView.
