Sample Project

Unable to select text rendered in WKWebView when allowsLinkPreview property of WKWebView is set to NO.


allowsLinkPreview -  As per documentation this property is supposed to control the behavior of long tap on link but this somehow affects text selection. 


Issue is observed only in iPad and recent iOS 13 versions.
Sample project attached was tested on 13.4.5

Comment 3 Wenson Hsieh 2020-04-10 10:28:25 PDT 
Note that the inability to select text using “double tap-hold” (i.e. the tap-and-half gesture) isn’t actually a new problem, but I think I can just fix both in this patch.

still reproducible on iOS 13.5.1
can you clarify on which iOS this fix will land?

Apple doesn't comment on the content or timing of future software updates.
