WebRTC can help apps/browsers communicate with each other, but it still relies on out-of-band signaling.
There are plenty of libraries for WebRTC for native apps on iOS, Android, and desktop OSs -- and they all interoperate with the built-in Chrome and Firefox implementations.
However, to set up the calls, you need to get data between those clients, and WebRTC doesn't do that.
- rocky1138 10y agoWhat's the solution?
- zbuf 10y agoPersonally I don't think there is one. Any such protocol would reduce these apps to a 'lowest common denominator' of features. And in the current climate, its features (not interoperability) that sells. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see one. But I can't see it appearing until the business case demands it.
