Apple use a web view for messages? I would've thought they'd use native UI. I guess it's easier to handle text properly with HTML.

- moloch 11y agoYes it surprised us too, we didn't even think about looking into Messages until Shubs jokingly started sending payloads to me using it.
- atomwaffel 11y agoYes, surprisingly the OS X Messages app doesn't seem to share a lot of UI code with the iOS version. You can easily tell that it's a simple WebView from the way text selections behave.
- 91bananas 11y agoMeaning how you can select text across messages?
- atomwaffel 11y agoYes, that and how some of the whitespace between the messages gets selected as well.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoStrangely Apple seem to build everything twice, once for iOS, once for OS X, even if they have the same appearance. It'll bite them some day.
