Enabling Zooming in UIPageViewController: A Thread-Safe Solution
Enabling Zooming in UIPageViewController ===================================================== In this answer, we will explore the issue of zooming in a UIPageViewController and provide a solution to achieve uniform font size across all view controllers. Problem Statement The problem lies in the implementation of pageViewController:viewControllerAfterViewController: and pageViewController:viewControllerBeforeViewController: methods. In these methods, we are directly setting the font size by calling [content.webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:string];. However, this method is not thread-safe and will throw an exception if called from a background thread.
