WKWebView iOS 10.3 crash for didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge?

Question

func webView(webView: WKWebView, didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge challenge: NSURLAuthenticationChallenge, completionHandler: (NSURLSessionAuthChallengeDisposition, NSURLCredential?) -> Void) {
    var user: String?
    var password: String?
    switch providerID {
    case "197": // ABC Stagging
        user = "ABC"
        password = "abc"
    default:
        break
    }
    if let user = user, password = password {
        let credential = NSURLCredential(user: user, password: password, persistence: NSURLCredentialPersistence.ForSession)
        challenge.sender?.useCredential(credential, forAuthenticationChallenge: challenge)
        completionHandler(NSURLSessionAuthChallengeDisposition.UseCredential, credential)
    }
}

According to crashlytics crash is happening on line with info The challenge was not sent by the receiver.

    challenge.sender?.useCredential(credential, forAuthenticationChallenge: challenge)

Any help is appreciated. This happens only on iOS 10.3. I guess some users have beta and are experiencing this.

Did any one get the issue resolved ? I am facing the same issue. Please help — Habib Ali, Apr 06 '17 at 07:54

Same problem for me, I fixed it by commented this line

//    challenge.sender?.useCredential(credential, forAuthenticationChallenge: challenge)

Yup that is what I did as well. – Ankit Srivastava Mar 01 '17 at 18:08
We should be able to set credentials – iDev Apr 04 '17 at 14:40

By commenting the line how you are sending credentials now ?? – Habib Ali Apr 06 '17 at 09:16

You can send credentials by adding them to request URL. For example http://login:password@your.page.com – Eddwhis Apr 06 '17 at 12:09
For me, in iOS 10.3.3. and iOS 11.0.2, commenting that line out stops the crash, but produces an endless didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge loop. – saswanb Oct 06 '17 at 19:17

Commenting this line and keeping ``completionHandler(URLSession.AuthChallengeDisposition.useCredential, credential)`` fixed it for me – joao2fast4u Jun 08 '18 at 13:45
