WebKit was introduced in iOS 8 but was released with an error which resulted in a runtime crash if the configuration was done using Interface Builder. So in Xcode 9 if your project configuration has minimum OS support less than 11.0 and you try to add WebKit using interface builder Xcode shows an error. This is a correct behaviour as it prevents you from creating runtime crash on below iOS11.

One must add WKWebView through code in iOS application which has support for below iOS11.
