    You are trying to invoke an Objective-C method. You have to pass javascript code to the stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString method.

    What you likely want to do is something like this:

    NSString *functionCall = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"alert('%@');", @"string"];
    
    [self.myWebView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:functionCall];
