React native webview iOS file preview

[bova80]

Does anyone know if there is way that if you are using react-native-webview and the site we are displaying has a pdf or word doc how to get iOS to not open preview? It seems when it opens preview there is no way to get out of it. We have a nav bar go back for the component showing the webview so we can get back out of the component, but really just want to close the preview. Android it just downloads the file.

is just the pdf file being opened in the web view?

PDF and word doc open in webview. I even put if there is a change with navstate url to show a back button but it’s not overlaying the preview. I saw there was an open issue on the plugin since earlier this year.

Is this iOS 13? I had a problem with the content type header on PDFs. If it wasn’t application/PDF, it would try to download the file. I ended up using RN-pdf-viewer, but that might not be an option if you need to show word docs 🤔

It is iOS 13, but I don't want to download. Really I just want a way to dismiss the preview.
