Trigger objective C method from javascript using JavaScriptCore in iOS 7 in ViewControllers

Question

The Objective-C interface in the JavascriptCore framework introduced with iOS 7 permits calling Objective-C methods from Javascript. For a great intro to these features, check out the 2013 WWDC introduction "Integrating JavaScript into Native Apps" session on Apple's developer network: https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2013/?id=615

It does have a brief section towards the end on WebView (MacOs only not iOS)

The sample code below shows how to implement what you want for iOS.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    UIWebView *webView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,40,320,320)];
    webView.delegate = self;
    [self.view addSubview:webView];
     NSString *pageSource = @"<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> </head> <body> <h1>My Mobile App</h1> <p>Please enter the Details</p> <form name=\"feedback\" method=\"post\" action=\"mailto:you@site.com\"> <!-- Form elements will go in here --> </form> <form name=\"inputform\"> <input type=\"button\" onClick=\"submitButton('My Test Parameter')\" value=\"submit\"> </form> </body> </html>";
    [webView loadHTMLString:pageSource baseURL:nil];
}

- (void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
    JSContext *context =  [webView valueForKeyPath:@"documentView.webView.mainFrame.javaScriptContext"]; // Undocumented access
    context[@"submitButton"] = ^(NSString *param1) {
        [self yourObjectiveCMethod:param1];
    };
}

- (void)yourObjectiveCMethod:(NSString *)param1 {
    NSLog(@"User clicked submit. param1=%@", param1);
}

Things to note:

Accessing the JSContext of a UIWebView is undocumented. Two techniques are known (see Access the JavaScriptCore engine of a UIWebView). The first technique is used here.
You don't need to define the javascript function "submitButton" inside the page, you will define the function from Objective-C using the webView's JSContext
A page load in a webview causes its JSContext to get replaced, hence you should implement a delegate for the UIWebView and define your Objective-C callback in your implementation of the selector for -webViewDidFinishLoad:
I've assumed you will want to pass parameters to this callback, so I've shown a sample parameter. Although this is not covered in the video tutorial mentioned above (or the PDF equivalent), looking at JSValue.h shows that JavascriptCore offers built-in conversion between the following Objective-C and Javascript types:

.

  Objective-C type  |   JavaScript type
--------------------+---------------------
        nil         |     undefined
       NSNull       |        null
      NSString      |       string
      NSNumber      |   number, boolean
    NSDictionary    |   Object object
      NSArray       |    Array object
       NSDate       |     Date object
      NSBlock *     |   Function object *
         id **      |   Wrapper object **
       Class ***    | Constructor object ***

* Instances of NSBlock with supported arguments types will be presented to
JavaScript as a callable Function object. For more information on supported
argument types see JSExport.h. If a JavaScript Function originating from an
Objective-C block is converted back to an Objective-C object the block will
be returned. All other JavaScript functions will be converted in the same
manner as a JavaScript object of type Object.

** For Objective-C instances that do not derive from the set of types listed
above, a wrapper object to provide a retaining handle to the Objective-C
instance from JavaScript. For more information on these wrapper objects, see
JSExport.h. When a JavaScript wrapper object is converted back to Objective-C
the Objective-C instance being retained by the wrapper is returned.

*** For Objective-C Class objects a constructor object containing exported
class methods will be returned. See JSExport.h for more information on
constructor objects.
