Reply to Cleanup JavaScript Core in iOS after use
hi - thanks for the very fast response :-) My set up pushes a large JS file into the core, does some work, and then recycles (by just nullifying the JSContext object, as you do). If I look at memory consumption, it goes up when I insert the javascript into the core and execute JavaScript functions (in my case it jumps by about 100MB as I have a lot of JavaScript code ...) On dereferencing the JSContext and looping round, no discernible drop in memory happens. If I then loop back I end up increasing memory by approx 100MB each time ... so the memory consumption grows a lot :-) I'll see if I can create a more simple setup and share it. My current app is not really something that is easy to work with :-) chris

Reply to Cleanup JavaScript Core in iOS after use
Hi - this was super helpful. Sorry I took so long to get back on this but your suggestions help me identify the retain cycle that prevented the JS Core from being cleaned up properly. I had a thread I was running (handling timers initiated in the JS layer) but when the thread was shut down I did not do it cleanly (I just blindly called Thread.exit()) but I needed to shut the thread properly and let it deallocate any retained references. Once I did that i suddenly saw the retain cycles disappear.

Reply to WKWebView failing in 17.5 beta
For me this seems limited to the iOS version - and for now just on a simulator (not been able to try on a real device yet... until 17.5 is released officially). I am using Xcode 15.4 Beta to build the App, but it works just fine in ios 17.4 or earlier.

I also tried on VisionOS 1.2 (beta) and this works fine. For completeness I also tried iPad (17.5 beta) but that has the same issue iPhone 17.5 has. So it seems a generic issue with ios on iphone and ipad, but it is not an issue with the latest visionOS release.

Reply to WKWebView failing in 17.5 beta
For completeness, I created the simplest app possible that illustrates this: // // ContentView.swift // TestWKWebView // // import SwiftUI import WebKit struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { SVGWebView() } } struct SVGWebView: UIViewRepresentable { let svg: String = "<html><head><meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\" /><title>Hello ...</title></head><body><p>Greetings ...</p></body></html>" func makeUIView(context: Context) -> WKWebView { return WKWebView(frame: CGRect.zero) } func updateUIView(_ webView: WKWebView, context: Context) { webView.loadHTMLString(svg, baseURL: nil) } } #Preview { ContentView() } This fails too, as I suspected, but worth doing anyway. It works fine on ios 17.5 or earlier.
