Address links are not working in W… | Apple Developer Forums

I am displaying HTML-content using a

WKWebView

. The HTML might contain addresses (locations like

Apple Campus, Cupertino, CA 95014, USA

). The default behavior of

WKWebView

is to highlight the address as a clickable link.

A long press on that link is opening an alert with all the default options like

Get Directions

Open in Maps

, just as it is working in Apple Mail. But if I simply press the link, it is highlighted, but nothing happens. In comparison, in Apple Mail pressing the link would open the Maps App. This is also my desired behavior.

If I use a

WKNavigationDelegate

in order to receive the

URL

generated from the address, it’s

x-apple-data-detectors://0

, so something that is probably intended for internal use only. But I don't know how to achieve the same behavior as Apple Mail in normal way.
