An Xcode Swift project demonstrating the issue.

Overview:

The WKNavigationAction.sourceFrame property is not annotated as nullable, causing it to crash when accessed from Swift. This bug shows up when making a navigation request that does not originate from the page itself using one of the WKWebView load methods. I've also filed this bug with Apple under rdar://32686815.

Steps to Reproduce:

This bug can be reproduced from both Objective-C and Swift but is more critical in Swift, as access of the property causes crashing:

1. Create a WKWebView and set its navigationDelegate to an object implementing the WKNavigationDelegate protocol method `webView(WKWebView, decidePolicyFor: WKNavigationAction, decisionHandler: (WKNavigationActionPolicy) -> Void)` insert `print(navigationAction.sourceFrame)` in its body.
2. Create a new navigation load request for the WKWebView using `webView.loadHTMLString(String)`
3. Run the project.

Actual Results:

The sourceFrame property is bridged as non-nullable, and upon access the application will crash.

Expected Results:

`nil` should be printed.
