With iOS 11 Apple has added the ability set add WKWebViews outlets on your nibs and storyboards. It seems to work fine when using the default WKWebViewConfiguration that get set automatically.

However, I'd like to be able to use a custom WKWebViewConfiguration. Is there anyway I can set this before, or after the WKWebView gets initialized from the nib?

Let's Example your customize configuration.

NSString *jScript = @"var meta = document.createElement('meta'); meta.setAttribute('name', 'viewport'); meta.setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width'); document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(meta);";

WKUserScript *wkUScript = [[WKUserScript alloc] initWithSource:jScript injectionTime:WKUserScriptInjectionTimeAtDocumentEnd forMainFrameOnly:YES];

//Here you can customize configuration
[self.webView.configuration.userContentController addUserScript:wkUScript];

// self.webView.navigationDelegate = self;
// self.webView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
