UIWebView not loading local webpage

Question

I have a super simple webpage that I just want to load a single local file. The file is /Resources/About.html

Here is my code:

NSString *urlPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"About" withExtension:@"html"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:urlPath];
NSURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[webView loadRequest:urlRequest];

What's wrong?

The method URLForResource:withExtension returns an NSURL, not an NSString. You can use the result of that directly in your request.

NSURL *URL = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"About" withExtension:@"html"];
[webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:URL]];

Yours is working the best, but I am getting this error now: Error Domain=WebKitErrorDomain Code=101 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (WebKitErrorDomain error 101.)"

it might because of url encoding. check these stackoverflow.com/questions/1528060/… and stackoverflow.com/questions/2028379/uiwebkit-error-101

NSString * urlPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"About" ofType:@"html"];
NSString *content = [NSString urlPath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
[webView content baseURL:[NSURL urlPath]];

I bet URLForResource is returning nil (Can you confirm that it is not?). It will not perform a recursive search, and will fail if your "Resources" folder is an actual folder (blue in XCode) as opposed to a group (yellow in Xcode). Try using the main bundle's resourceURL and appending your path to the end of it.
