I found the limitation of this design, ui cross thread problem!

as asp.net run in separate thread which is not STA.

maybe we can mix all run one STA thread event loop.

for example, when mix a WPF control in win32 window, there is no need and should not start a new ui thread for it, it just work.

If it can not be solved, this project should stop, and the user should migrate to maui, even just for blazor.

I tried to run the sample project on Linux (latest Kubuntu LTS) and I get the following exception:

The dotnet build command is successful, the exception only occurs when running.
Everything works fine on Windows instead.

I just want to document/capture this in a separate issue.

If webview_sharp is cross platform, why does this example not work on MacOS?

Have you successfully tried the webview_sharp examples on MacOS?
Webview Sharp examples

@congzhangzh Thanks for putting this together. I forked your repo and tried to run the project, no changes, and I get an error when running the project, I think from webviewsharp. It throws the error here:

using var webview = new Webview(); in Program.cs on line 57.

StackTrace " at SharpWebview.Bindings.webview_create(Int32 debug, IntPtr window)\r\n at SharpWebview.Webview..ctor(Boolean debug, Boolean interceptExternalLinks)\r\n at BlazorBrowserNativeStyle.Program.OpenInLine(String address)

publish as dotnet new template to easy for new user quick start

It seems Photino.NET will solve the problem of app update, mobile os support, native menu and so on problem, so I hope we can migration our base platform to it.

Why

Easy debug, or sometimes another mode fit to you

How

Pure Server Mode

Start as Normal Blazor Server, this is really easy to debug

Maui/photino.Blazor

This should solve some problems like cross UI thread problem which Blazor Server involves ( should possible be fixed on adjusting asp.net core task scheduled module)
as the asp.net team split out WebView requirements, depending on MAUI is not essential。

https://github.com/tryphotino/photino.Blazor/blob/master/README.md

Mix in WPF/Gtk

Sometimes's temporary depend on OS native part make your work easy, the challenge may be something like mixing event loop and using the same synchronize dispatcher

Hey, I submitted an issue here webview/webview#529 and wondering if you have the same trouble with accessing the webview/webkit inspector on MacOS.

My project is using MudBlazor for UI and It's doing some funny things when rendering. No issue on Windows, only Mac.
