Sadly, while WebRTC is "supported" by iOS 11, it is disabled in web apps added to the home screen, as well as any embedded web views like UIWebView or WKWebView

Sadly, while WebRTC is "supported" by iOS 11, it is disabled in web apps added to the home screen, as well as any embedded web views like UIWebView or WKWebView.
Which leads to the wonderful UX that if a user adds your website that uses WebRTC to the homescreen, you need to catch a TypeError from getUserMedia being undefined, and display a modal to them telling them to delete the homescreen shortcut and always type in the URL if they want to use the website.
- Alacart 9y agoWhoever allowed that decision to be made should be ashamed of themselves and embarrassed. Safari really is the new IE.
- Klathmon 9y agoThe cynical part of me thinks it's to keep "alternate" browser apps like Chrome and Firefox on iOS from having the feature, but i'm really hoping that it's something much less nefarious. But either way it's a really shitty move in my opinion.
- erichocean 9y agoWow, that's bullshit.
