If you (like me) only use a html snippet (not a complete web page) you need to add your local css file in the header of the html snippet.

I therefore define a html header like this:

let htmlHeader = " \n  \n  \n  \n  \n"

and a footer like this:

let htmlFooter = " \n "

let baseURLForCss = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "default", withExtension: "css")

webView.loadHTMLString(String.init(format: "%@%@&@", htmlHeader, htmlSnippet, htmlFooter), baseURL: baseURLForCss)
