[Android & iOS] Support of window.print() function

[birdofpreyru]

#3317

[scamp81]

Would love to see this applied. We've been fighting this printing issue on ios for a while.

[birdofpreyru]

@scamp81 Unfortunately, I can't say yet it completely works on iOS — I still haven't figured out how, and whether it is possible to print there the entire page, rather than just the visible WebView viewport. On macOS I kind of found a way to make it work, but that goes against Apple docs on how snapshot config is supposed to work, and it does not work the same on iOS, so... perhaps I overlooked something and I neither have a good solution for macOS.

As usual, it just works on Android — iOS software & APIs suck!!! 🤣

Update: Now it feels I have figured out the right way to do the printing on iOS. Turns out to be quite straightforward, but not easy to figure out starting from WKWebView documentation, neither I saw that right solution in StackOverflow answers to the writing questions :( The PR is updated accordingly.

Hi @birdofpreyru
I am encountering the same issue in one of my projects where I need to open the print preview, allowing the user to print or download the file as a PDF.

As far as I can see, this PR is still pending merging.

Hi @jamonholmgren @Titozzz
Could you please approve and merge PR?

@frontendguru1 , you might want to consider switching to my fork of react-native-webview — I got tired of waiting while this, and a few other PRs of mine with critical fixes, gets merged-in (the first of them is pending since Jan 16, 2024), and after depending on a locally built, patched version of react-native-webview in my projects, I decided it is a high time to publish my fork to NPM.

[frontendguru1]

Yes, I am also planning to switch to updated version. Have you published this to NPM? Sent from Gmail Mobile

Right, bot, three months later maintainers still haven’t found time to merge in my PR; in the meantime I’ve already started my fork of this library — a few steps ahead of the upstream, and could be even better, if anybody backed me up financially.
