  2. Make UIWebview full screen by right clicking on the UIWebview and drag to the parent view to set the following constraints
    1. Equal Heights
    2. Equal Widths
    3. Center X Alignment
    4. Center Y Alignment
  3. Click on Assistant Editor to show the ViewController code and Main.storyboard UI side by side so you can set reference by right dragging the UIWebview into the ViewController class then enter the name of reference of the UIWebview.
  4. At the projector navigator, select the ViewController.swift or double click ViewController.swift and add the following code
import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var webView: UIWebView!
    var url = "http://www.google.com"

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

        let urlToLoad = NSURL(string:url)
        let request = NSURLRequest(URL:urlToLoad!)
        webView.loadRequest(request)

    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
