Back swipe gesture not working on iOS #345

Hi!

On iOS devices, the WebView works correctly when opened, but the back swipe gesture (swiping from the left edge of the screen) does not trigger navigation. Tried setting captureBackPresses = false, but it had no effect. However, disabling scrolling in the WebView makes the gesture work as expected.

Possible Causes:

  • UIKit may be intercepting the gesture before it reaches Compose.

  • The issue might be related to the library’s handling of touch events.

Question:

  • Is this a known issue with the library?

  • Are there any workarounds or fixes available?

Workaround:

Disabling WebView scrolling temporarily fixes the issue, but this is not a viable solution for most use cases.

Library Version: 2.0.2
