This approach was working for me in iOS 12 and 13.
It is broken and does not work in iOS 14.
In iOS 14 I see the following error in the logs:
error: fetch threw, error: TypeError: The operation couldn’t be completed. (WebKitBlobResource error 1.), url: blob:https:yourbloblink
Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone have working code or a solution for iOS 14?
I am unable to download and display PDF blobs in iOS 14 via WKWebView.

I am facing the same issue, I was using a similar approach (using fetch instead of XMLHttpRequest) to get the blob. It works in iOS 12 and 13 but is broken in iOS 14.
It appears that a change in iOS 14 has broken the ability to download blob resources when using WKWebView.
Here is a link to the approach that uses JS fetch:

Is there a way to get a blob resource when using WKWebView in iOS 14? Does anyone have a fix for this?
