Sample WkWebView app for simulating issue in decidePolicyForNavigationAction

Hi,

We are having issue with decidePolicyForNavigationAction callback function.  We found that evaluateJavaScript method fails to invoke its completionHandler callback when called within decidePolicyForNavigationAction delegate and before its decisionHandler was called.
While this is working in current iOS10 but fails on iOS11 beta. This code flow is as per Apple’s documentation - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wknavigationdelegate/1455641-webview?language=objc

decisionHandler never gets called if it is in Async block in decidePolicyForNavigationAction delegate callback.

Below is the code snippet which works in iOS10 & not on iOS11.

- (void)webView:(WKWebView *)webView decidePolicyForNavigationAction:(WKNavigationAction *)navigationAction decisionHandler:(void (^)(WKNavigationActionPolicy))decisionHandler{
    NSLog(@"decidePolicyForNavigatiAction");

    [_webView evaluateJavaScript:@"document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = \"Change Content of Paragraph\"" completionHandler:^(id result, NSError * _Nullable error) {
        
        NSLog(@"The Result is:%@",result);
       decisionHandler(WKNavigationActionPolicyCancel);   //Never gets called

    }];
}



Thanks
