For this Pod actually work you need to install the webview-reloader-server.

npm install -g webview-reloader-server

Installation

Usage

In your view controller import WLWebViewReloader category

#import <WLXWebViewReloader/WKWebView+WLXWebViewReloader.h>

and here is an example of how to configure the web view

#import "ViewController.h"
#import <WLXWebViewReloader/WKWebView+WLXWebViewReloader.h>

@import WebKit;

@interface ViewController ()<WKNavigationDelegate, WLXWebViewReloaderDelegate>

@property (nonatomic) WKWebView * webView;
@property (nonatomic) WLXWebViewReloader * webViewReloader;

@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)loadView {
    [super loadView];
    self.webView = [[WKWebView alloc] init];
    self.view = self.webView;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

#ifdef DEBUG
    self.webView.reloaderIdentifier = @"MyWebView";
    self.webView.reloaderDelegate = self;
    [self.webView reloadOnFileChange];
#endif

    NSURL * URL = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"index" withExtension:@"html"];
    NSURLRequest * request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:URL];
    self.webView.navigationDelegate = self;
    [self.webView loadLocalRequest:request];
}

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [self.webView startListeningToFileChanges];
}

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
    [self.webView stopListeningToFileChanges];
}

#pragma mark - WLXWebViewReloaderDelegate methods

- (void)webViewReloader:(WLXWebViewReloader *)reloader didFailToConnect:(NSError *)error {
    NSLog(@"Error connecting reloader: %@", error);
}

- (void)webViewReloaderDidConnect:(WLXWebViewReloader *)reloader {
    NSLog(@"Reloader connected!");
}

- (void)webViewReloader:(WLXWebViewReloader *)reloader willReloadWebView:(WKWebView *)webView {
    NSLog(@"Web view about to be reloaded");
}

- (void)webViewReloader:(WLXWebViewReloader *)reloader didReloadWebView:(WKWebView *)webView {
    NSLog(@"Web view reloaded!");
}

@end

The reloaderIdentifier of the web view needs to match the listener's name you configured in the webview-reloader-server's configuration file.

Also you need to call loadLocalRequest: instead of loadRequest to be able to load the source code from the web server. If the reloader has not been configured the loadLocalRequest forwards to loadRequest.
