9. Who are you?
10. History
11. The full Safari engine is inside of iPhone. And so, you can write amazing Web 2.0 and Ajax apps that look exactly and behave exactly like apps on the iPhone. SJ, 2007 “ ”
12. History • No plugins • Flash • Applets
14. Adobe, don’t even think about it!
17. History • Nitro was introduced in iOS 4.3 • Uses JIT • Transform JS into native code Needs to mark memory w+x • Security issues
19. var temp = {}; temp[10123] = "cocoaconf";

27. iOS7 -> iOS8 https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/releasenotes/General/iOS80APIDiffs/frameworks/WebKit.html
28. 1 Class 1 Protocol
29. UIWebView UIWebViewDelegate
30. 14 Classes 3 Protocols
31. WKWebView WKFrameInfo WKBackForwardList WKBackForwardListItem WKNavigation WKNavigationAction WKNavigationResponse WKPreferences WKProcessPool WKUserContentController WKWebViewConfiguration WKWindowFeatures WKScriptMessage WKUserScript WKNavigationDelegate WKScriptMessageHandler WKUIDelegate
32. XPC • Greatly improved in iOS8 • Third party keyboards • Sharing extensions
33. XPC find /Applications -name \*.xpc | grep Web | wc -l
34. XPC • Split app in multiple processes • E.g. Sourcekit • http://www.jpsim.com/uncovering-sourcekit/

37. Optimizing JS
38. Fun with JS
39. jsc sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/ JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/jsc /bin/jsc
41. JS bytecode LLInt JIT DFG optimization
42. function sum(a, b) { return a + b; }
43. LLInt JIT DFG optimization function sum(a, b) { return a + b; }
44. LLInt JIT DFG
45. LLVM
46. LLVM • Infrastructure • Meant to optimize *time • Started by Mr. Swift
47. LLInt JIT DFG
48. LLInt JIT DFG FTL
49. What’s new
50. Observable values
51. Observable values • loading • title • URL • estimatedProgress
52. Observable values webView.addObserver(self, forKeyPath: "loading", options: .New, context: nil)
53. Observable values override func observeValueForKeyPath(...) { switch keyPath { case "loading": println("\(webView.loading)") case "estimatedProgress": println("\(webView.estimatedProgress)") … } }
54. Injecting
55. Action Request Response Rendering
56. Action Request Response Rendering
57. Action Request
58. Action Request webView:decidePolicyForNavigationAction:decisionHandler
59. Response Rendering
60. Response Rendering webView:decidePolicyForNavigationResponse:decisionHandler:
61. func webView(webView: WKWebView!, decidePolicyForNavigationAction navigationAction: WKNavigationAction!, decisionHandler: ((WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void)!) { if (navigationAction.navigationType == .LinkActivated && navigationAction.request.URL.host?. lowercaseString.hasPrefix("cocoaconference.com/") != nil) { // Open Safari UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(navigationAction.request.URL); decisionHandler(.Cancel) } else { decisionHandler(.Allow) } }
62. Native code HTML Page JS Data
63. Data is serialized into native objects!
64. Injecting 1. Create configuration 2. Wrap JS script in a WKUserScript 3. Add script to configuration controller 4. Set up handler 5. Use configuration to build a Web view
65. let speakersWebViewConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
66. let scriptURL = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("fetchSpeakers", ofType: “js") let jsScript = String(contentsOfFile:scriptURL!, encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: nil) let fetchAuthorsScript = WKUserScript(source: jsScript!, injectionTime: .AtDocumentEnd, forMainFrameOnly: true)
67. speakersWebViewConfiguration. userContentController. addUserScript(fetchAuthorsScript)
68. speakersWebViewConfiguration. userContentController. addScriptMessageHandler(self, name: MESSAGE_HANDLER)
69. speakersWebView = WKWebView(frame: CGRectZero, configuration: speakersWebViewConfiguration)
70. speakersWebView!.addObserver(self, forKeyPath: "loading", options: .New, context: nil) speakersWebView!.addObserver(self, forKeyPath: "estimatedProgress", options: .New, context: nil)
71. let speakersRequest = NSURLRequest(URL:speakersURL) speakersWebView!.loadRequest(speakersRequest)
