... we dupe this Radar [1]. There is some related research and JIRA
discussion here [2]

I will outline the steps you need to do below.

If we don't ask for this now, enabling this feature will probably go in iOS
11, just like loading file urls in WKWebView (support was non-existent in
iOS 8, added in iOS 9 with WKWebView->loadFileURL:allowingReadAccessToURL:)

To allow localStorage to work with file URLs in WKWebView, Apple just needs
to allow this private API "WKWebViewConfiguration->
_setAllowUniversalAccessFromFileURLs" to be public [3]
