Answer 1

This is Yuichi Kato's answer for Swift 4. It retrieves the full URL from the request property of the navigation action in the webView(_:decidePolicyFor:decisionHandler:) method of WKNavigationDelegate.

func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, decidePolicyFor navigationAction: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: @escaping (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void) {
    if let urlStr = navigationAction.request.url?.absoluteString {
        //urlStr is what you want
    }

    decisionHandler(.allow)
}

Don't forget to conform your class to WKNavigationDelegate and set your web view's delegate accordingly:

class WebViewController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate

[...]

webView.navigationDelegate = self
