Killing a WKWebView content process in the iOS simulator to trigger a webViewWebContentProcessDidTerminate call

trigger webViewWebContentProcessDidTerminate in simulator

# In the command line, find the PID of your simulator process:
ps -p `pgrep launchd_sim`

# or if you have many simulators running:
ps -A | grep launchd_sim

# Find the PID of the WebContent process:
pgrep -P <simulator-pid> 'com.apple.WebKit.WebContent'

# kill it
kill <webcontent-pid>

# or if you want a one-lner:
kill $(pgrep -P $(pgrep launchd_sim) 'com.apple.WebKit.WebContent')

Not all heroes wear capes. ❤️

thanks, you save my time.

Hello sir
Is there a way to kill WebContent process of a real iOS device ?

I have not looked into this, but my guess is there isn't a simple way to do it. If it is possible, my best guess is using Instruments. If not, then maybe you can include some sort of memory leak or infinite allocation in your web code.

Thank you sir , memory leak or infinite allocation sounds a good idea .

You have no idea how many attempts I've had at trying to fix this for react pages built into our app and I was able to immediately reproduce and solve with this. THANK YOU!!!!
