In the ViewController.swift file, make sure to import the necessary frameworks - UIKit and WebKit - at the outset of your code. Additionally, ensure that your ViewController class adopts the WKNavigationDelegate protocol to manage the web view's navigation.
The WebView is initialized in this code using WKWebView(frame: view.bounds), obtaining the WebView object.
Lastly, the HTML content is loaded into the WebView using webView.loadHTMLString(htmlString, baseURL: nil).
data-src: This attribute specifies the URL of the DocuSeal form that you want to embed. Each template form on DocuSeal has a unique URL with slug key. "Slug" key can be obtained via the /templates API or copied from the template page in the web UI.
data-email: This attribute is used to initialize the form for a specified email address for the signer.
Signing forms initialized via template URL and email work only if the template contains a single signing party. For signing forms with multiple parties all signers should be initiated via the API.

Prerequisites:
Sign Up and Obtain API Key: Visit DocuSeal API Console to obtain your API key.
Template ID: Identify the template ID you want to use for the form.
POST request to https://api.docuseal.co/submissions. Include the obtained API key in the headers along with the content type ('application/json'). Specify the template_id and submitter details:
send_email: set to false to disable automated emails form the platform.
email: pass email address of each individual party in the document signing process.
role: specifies the designated role of each participant (e.g., 'Director', 'Contractor'). Pass role names defined in the template form.
Upon a successful request, the API will respond with a an array of submitters with slug keys to be used in the embed form.
When utilizing the \(slug) within the <docuseal-form> component, ensure that you load "slug" from your back-end API with the actual key obtained from the DocuSeal API response. This "slug" key acts as a reference point to link the embedded form in your Android app to the specific submitter document form created through the DocuSeal platform.
