Trouble uploading and downloading files from a WKWebView
Right now I am developing a macOS WebApp, this includes a WKWebview.
However, when I want to upload or download a file, it doesn't work. When I click, nothing happens! Like, nothing. I click on for example on “choose file” or any other upload button, and the window that should appear to select a file or directory doesn’t show up.
I have been struggling all day long, checking stackoverflow and many other resources and I found many posts related to my problem, but they are all out-dated.
My code is really simple;
- (void)viewDidLoad
[super viewDidLoad];
// Load the url into the webview
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://www.my-website-url.com"];
[self.myView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
So basically all I want is that I can download and upload files to and from my WKWebView.
It is NOT a duplicate question because I still don't get how to implement the code that Willeke is referring to in the comments.

Also, I am not that new with Xcode, but please, if you can, try to explain it in a simple "copy-paste" way. Thanks, again! 🙊

@Willeke I have seen that post, but I don't get Jeba's answer... I don't understand where to copy paste his code, and how to implement UIDelegate. I cant comment either because I just registered yesterday...
