WKWebView not displaying website (Swift 4, iOS 11, Xcode 9.3)

For some reason, the WKWebView in my app won't display any websites like "https://www.google.com.au". I have tried changing the "Allow Arbitrary Loads" to "YES" in info.plist but that didn't resolve the issue.

PLEASE HELP!!!!! Thanks

My Code:

import UIKit
import WebKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var webView: WKWebView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        displayWebPage()
    }

    private func displayWebPage() {
        let url = URL(string: "https://www.google.com.au")
        let request = URLRequest(url: url!)
        webView.load(request)
    }
}

Connect your controller to WKUIDelegate, add loadView() method in your View Controller and initialize your web view using WKWebViewConfiguration.

import UIKit
import WebKit

class ViewController: UIViewController, WKUIDelegate {

    @IBOutlet weak var webView: WKWebView!
    
    var webView: WKWebView!
    
    override func loadView() {
        let myConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
        webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: myConfiguration)
        webView.uiDelegate = self
        view = webView
    }
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        displayWebPage()
    }

    private func displayWebPage() {
        let url = URL(string: "https://www.google.com.au")
        let request = URLRequest(url: url!)
        webView.load(request)
    }
}

set webView delegates.

    webView.UIDelegate = self
    webView.navigationDelegate = self

and also try by adding your domain in exception domain list

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
    <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
    <true/>
    <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
    <dict>
        <key>google.com.au</key>
        <dict>
            <key>NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
            <true/>
            <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
            <true/>
        </dict>
    </dict>
</dict>

Connect the WKNavigationDelegate, this will fix the webpage not loading try the below code. Any errors thrown while loading the webpage will be printed in the webViewDidFail delegate.

class ViewController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate {

    @IBOutlet weak var webView: WKWebView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        displayWebPage()
    }

    private func displayWebPage() {
        let url = URL(string: "https://www.google.com.au")
        let request = URLRequest(url: url!)
        webView.navigationDelegate = self
        webView.load(request)
    }
    func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFail navigation: WKNavigation!, withError error: Error) {
        print(error)
    }
}
