This is still a problem in the latest version of macOS monterey (v12.2). I created a JS solution which overrides the default pasting logic for macOS. Add this JS code as a userscript into your WKWebView user content controller.
Here's the gist link for my code.
I have also attached the code down below:
const inputs = document.querySelectorAll("input[type=text]")
let alreadyPasted = false
for (const input of inputs) {
input.addEventListener("paste", (event) => {
event.preventDefault()
// Don't call paste event two times in a single paste command
if (alreadyPasted) {
alreadyPasted = false
return
}
const paste = (event.clipboardData || window.clipboardData).getData("text")
const beginningString =
input.value.substring(0, input.selectionStart) + paste
input.value =
beginningString +
input.value.substring(input.selectionEnd, input.value.length)
alreadyPasted = true
input.setSelectionRange(beginningString.length, beginningString.length)
input.scrollLeft = input.scrollWidth
})
}
Here's a code example to reproduce the double paste bug with MacCatalyst (it doesn't matter if I use SwiftUI, I just like it more)
struct ContentView: View {
var body: some View {
WebView(url: URL(string: "https://google.com")!)
}
}
struct WebView: UIViewRepresentable {
let url: URL
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView {
let webView = WKWebView()
return webView
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: WKWebView, context: Context) {
}
}
I hope this helps someone out there :)

After looking at Caleb Jones's comment, I found that disabling autocorrection on the textfield in swiftui stops crashes entirely.
The main issue is probably because MacCatalyst doesn't support predictive text, but iOS/iPadOS does due to the virtual keyboard. Disabling autocorrection disables predictive text.
Here's my code with the fix:
import SwiftUI
import WebKit
struct ContentView: View {
@State var textObject: String = ""
var body: some View {
ZStack {
WebView(url: URL(string: "https://google.com")!)
TextField("", text: $textObject)
.background(
Rectangle()
.foregroundColor(.black)
)
.disableAutocorrection(true)
}
}
}
struct WebView: UIViewRepresentable {
var url: URL
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView {
return WKWebView()
}
func updateUIView(_ webView: WKWebView, context: Context) {
let request = URLRequest(url: url)
webView.load(request)
}
}
Hi there, I am also having the same problem with my MacCatalyst app on MacOS monterey 12.1 (13-inch 2021 M1 MBP)
Error message: libc++abi: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: <SPRoundedWindow: 0x126774250>. "frame=!CGRectIsNull(frame)"' terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
I was able to create a test app which reproduces the crash every time. Here's the code for it (SwiftUI).
import SwiftUI
import WebKit
struct ContentView: View {
@State var textObject: String = ""
var body: some View {
ZStack {
WebView(url: URL(string: "https://google.com")!)
TextField("", text: $textObject)
.background(
Rectangle()
.foregroundColor(.black)
)
}
}
}
struct WebView: UIViewRepresentable {
var url: URL
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView {
return WKWebView()
}
func updateUIView(_ webView: WKWebView, context: Context) {
let request = URLRequest(url: url)
webView.load(request)
}
}
To reproduce the crash:
Launch the app on a mac
Click in the textfield
Click on the google search bar
The crash should occur
The same issue also silently occurs when running the app in rosetta but the app doesn't terminate.
Here's my crash log down below:
