Custom User Agent

To set a custom User Agent you can use customUserAgent property:

let webConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
let webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: webConfiguration)
webView.customUserAgent = "ExampleApp/1.0 (iPhone)"

Available: iOS 9+

Append to the default User Agent

To append a custom string at the and of the default user agent you can use applicationNameForUserAgent property:

let webConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
webConfiguration.applicationNameForUserAgent = "ExampleApp/1.0 (iPhone)"
let webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: webConfiguration)

Then it will look for example like:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 11_2 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/604.4.7
(KHTML, like Gecko) ExampleApp/1.0 (iPhone)
