Summary:On iOS, `WebView` will get stuck when the first request fails to load. The most common case where this could happen is when a user has limited or no connectivity.
Here's a repo with a sample app that demonstrates the problem and this fix: [https://github.com/jballer/react-native-webview-reload-example](https://github.com/jballer/react-native-webview-reload-example).
**Attempted workarounds**
- `WebView.reload()` fails internally because the `UIWebView`'s `currentRequest` doesn't have its `URL` set
- Setting `WebView.source.uri` won't do anything; the JS value value is unchanged and therefore doesn't cross the native bridge.
- Unmounting and remounting the `WebView` component would lose history and context if an error occurs on a request that's not the first request.
**Test plan (manual testing)**
1. Disable network connection
1. Relaunch application or reload JS
1. Enable network connection
1. Tap "reload" button
1. Observe whether page reloads
