Auto-Adjusting WebView Height for HTML Content in CollectionView (iOS)

Question

Hi Team,

I am using the WebView control to display HTML content inside a CollectionView in a .NET MAUI app.

My challenge is that I want the WebView height to automatically adjust based on the HTML content’s rendered height, especially on iOS. The HTML content varies in length, so fixed heights cause either clipping or excessive whitespace.

Could you please help me find a reliable workaround or best practice to:

• Measure the HTML content height on iOS before or during rendering,

Ensure smooth and accurate resizing without layout glitches.

Thank you

there is no perfect solution.

you can do a custom handler to access the native events and use webView:didFinishNavigation to know navigation completed. if the page has dynamic content, you may need a timer to track changes. see this thread:
