- robwormald 12y agowe've been using https://github.com/MobileChromeApps/mobile-chrome-apps https://github.com/MobileChromeApps/mobile-chrome-apps for a while, pretty awesome. It's basically Cordova + some chrome APIs + embedded CrossWalk, meaning it ships the embedded (latest) chrome as part of your app.
