Description

The list of properties for WebView Preferences is highly incomplete. A full list of the preferences is present at: https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/blob/main/Source/WebKit/UIProcess/API/Cocoa/WKPreferences.mm

Suggestion

Complete the list or at least add a link and some explanation to WKPreferences.mm where the list is complete. The functionality already works in titanium if set, as for example does {"webGLEnabled": false}, but are completely undocumented on titanium docs. Some of the interesting preferences includes (as found in other StackOverflow users issues): allowFileAccessFromFileURLs and allowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs that are XMLHttpRequest related features especially useful when working with local WebViews.

I do not know what a PR is, it ask me to fork the entire project. If you can do it for me, I just added a line at the end of the description:

description: | Use the method to create and use as a parameter of . Using this you can determine how soon a webpage is rendered, how media playback is handled, the granularity of items that the user can select, and many other options. This property can only be set when creating the webview and will be ignored when set afterwards.

See the example section "Usage of WebViewConfiguration with WebView in iOS".

Information on additional available preferences can be derived from the original WebKit sources: [WKPreferences.mm](https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/blob/main/Source/WebKit/UIProcess/API/Cocoa/WKPreferences.mm)

a PR is a pull request. https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request

You fork the project, clone it locally, make the changes, commit the changes and create a PR. The normal github/git way.

But yes, I can do it for you too
