Summary WKWebView does not allow remembering permissions granted by the user?

What's happening: We're loading a WebRTC-based mobile-optimized chat web app into WKWebView which allows users to toggle on their microphone and talk to others in a virtual room. However, the problem is that WKWebView will ask for this permission repeatedly: Once the app moves to the background and comes to the foreground again, and the user wants to toggle the microphone on again, the user is presented with a new permission prompt. Expected behavior: WKWebView should remember the granted permission and not ask again. Interestingly, iOS Safari has an option where the user can grant a website permanent permission (roughly: "do not ask again for this site"). I couldn't find any relevant APIs to facilitate this and consider it a critical bug, as it has a hugely negative impact on user experience. If I've missed something, I'd be glad to hear about it. Thanks

A WKUIDelegate (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkuidelegate/3763087-webview?language=objc) can be used for that purpose. Please reopen if this is not sufficient. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 223806 ***
