- giorgioz 5y agoVanilla webviews is definitely possible on Windows with Webview2 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/ The problem though was compatibility since that webview might be based on old versions of Edge which used to be a much more outdated browser than Safari/Chrome. So far in 5 years of using Electron Windows never broke Electron except on a minor instance. Our Windows Electron app doesn't work on Windows 10 S. The problem might have became fixable by now but Windows S had so little marketshare that we never found time to fix that issue.
- WolfOliver 5y agoI mean MacOS, not Windows
- giorgioz 5y agoyes we already had a macOS published on the App Store for 2 years written as a thin Swift app with WKWebView: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/waiterio-restaurant-pos-system/id1191198720 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/waiterio-restaurant-pos-system... https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview The app store reviewers will allow apps with only webview only if you are offering some feature that would not be possible to implement in the browser alone.
