I tried using UIImageView, which works for the .png & .jpg image formats, but not for the .svg extensi

Answer 1

In case you want to use a WKWebView to load a .svg image that is coming from a URLRequest, you can simply achieve it like this:

Swift 4

if let request = URLRequest(url: urlString), let svgString = try? String(contentsOf: request) {
  wkWebView.loadHTMLString(svgString, baseURL: request)
}

It's much simpler than the other ways of doing it, and you can also persist your .svg string somewhere to load it later, even offline if you need to.
