webshell's Issues

Open in a new window does not work

Same contextmenu as #31

Quit app when window is closed

An app I built with Webshell just got rejected from the app store with the following statement regarding the default behavior when the main window gets closed:

We have found that when the user closes the main application window there is no menu item to
re-open it. The app should implement a Window menu that lists the main window so it can be
reopened, or provide similar functionality in another menu item. OS X Human Interface Guidelines,
state that "The menu bar [a]lways contains [a] Window menu".

Alternatively, if the application is a single-window app, it might be appropriate to save data and quit the > app when the main window is closed. ''

As it is an single-window app it would be good to add the behavior as stated in the HIGuidlines.

File upload

Hello,

will be possible allow file upload from form input?

Thx4reply

Injecting happens to times at startup!

Can't open links in browser

Links in WebShell can't be opened when I click it.

iOS

Can you made Notification API to work on iOS ?

Swift 2.2 + Swift 3

• Optimize for Swift 3 (Means no For loops in C-Style)
• Fix errors and warnings for Swift 2.2

Any plan to develop one for windows platform?

initial window size not work

initialWindowXxx did not work for window but did work for the webview viewport size.

Relevant codes in https://github.com/djyde/WebShell/blob/master/WebShell%2FViewController.swift#L106-L123

Merge Statut with WebShell

see: djyde/Statut#2

Loading Animation (instead of just text)

Would be a nice way to add some polish to slower-loading webapps 😄

JS Bin demo just doesn't work

Crashes on launch.
I am using 10.11 Beta

Fix "new window".

If i launch a new window the 'main window' wil freeze.

• the recently launched screen will not become on top.

Can't be close by hotkey cmd + w

RT.

Move settings to Settings.swift

Fix contextmenu (web inspector is unavailable)

Fix contextmenu (web inspector is unavailable)

Broken on Google Docs/Sheets Dashboard

This seems to be the same issue that Fluid has, if you set the homepage to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/, it will have the spinner loading forever.

possible to reference local files?

Does WebShell allow to point to a local (i.e index.html) file within the package and not to a remote URL? If yes, how would one reference and include a local file? Thanks.

Changes in settings doesn't work

Add support for webkitNotifications?

Injecting javascript is too slow

If i set the url to http://wdg.github.io/HTML-iOS-Template/mac.html
wich contains a test what uses window.webshell.version a.k.a. webshell.version.
i'd need to create a hack because the injecting is somewhat to slow.

The function:

function myFunction() {
    if (typeof window.webshell !== 'undefined') {
        console.log(window.webshell.version) // works...
    } else {
        console.error('i\'m missing something')
    }
}

the hack:

rdy(function(){myFunction()});
function rdy(f){/in/.test(document.readyState)?setTimeout('rdy('+f+')',9):f()}

this test every 9ms the readyState.

because window.addEventListener is too fast, and injecting to slow.

window.addEventListener(
    "load",
    function(event) { myFunction() },
    true
); // missed it, to early

window.addEventListener(
    "load",
    function(event) { myFunction() },
    false
); // missed it, to early

window.addEventListener(
    "DOMContentLoaded",
    function(event) { myFunction() }, 
    true
); // missed it, to early

window.addEventListener(
    "DOMContentLoaded",
    function(event) { myFunction() },
    false
); // missed it, to early

Possible solutions:

• Try to inject the javascript faster.
• Extend WebKit (don't know if it is possible, in this way)
• Fire the DOMContentLoaded, load 2 times (last time by WebShell)

Trackpad gestures?

Back/forward with gestures doesn't seem to work. The keyboard shortcuts seem to work fine.

add support for custom user agents

iframe doesn't execute JavaScript right

As seen in #20 JavaScript in a iframe doesn't run good. and it is ignoring the web hooks injected in the web view

---

Need to disable Cross-Domain-Policy, otherwise we can't inject code into a iframe

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2421224/disable-the-same-origin-policy-making-cross-domain-xmlhttprequests-in-webkit-w

Will WebShell support Custom CSS?

Will WebShell support Custom CSS.

initial window size not work

this issue is same as #1 ,but it still not work, I replace this line with mainWindow.fame = frame and it works

Support for printing

It doesn't seem like printing is supported, as CMD+P doesn't bring up the native print dialog, and webpages that have Print buttons don't bring up the native print dialog either.

file upload disable fakepath

will be possible disable fakepath when upload file? current webkit implement [html5's fakepath](HTML5's fakepath) because of security, but native app should handle it with nodejs or others, so disable this feature will be nice when develop native app.

add https to the quickstart on the cloning instruction

I was getting

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

without the https on git clone github.com/djyde/WebShell.git APP_NAME

Support for OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

OS X Mavericks still has ~15% market share, and Swift code is compatible with Mavericks because Xcode automatically embeds a runtime binary upon compilation.

However, symbol viewDidLoad is not available in Mavericks. Any chance to weak link that/add some sort of version check to make WebShell compatible with Mavericks?

Media key support

Considering support media key(previous, next, play/pause)

incorrect mock implementation for Notification.requestPermission

your implementation

Notification.requestPermission = function(callback) {
    if (typeof callback === 'function') {
        callback();
        return true
    } else {
        return true
    }
};

while I think the following codes should be more suitable for real environment

Notification.requestPermission = function(callback) {
    if (typeof callback === 'function') {
        callback('granted');
    } 
};

Add back and forward buttons

Only if available

I link it to #31 (as the Contextmenu issue, this issue is for building a good bug and enhancement history)

Enable opening pop-up windows for authentication

I have not been able to get any app to work that uses, for example, my Google account for login. This makes WebShell pretty much unusable for me, and I guess for quite a lot of people

Preserve local storage

From what I can tell, local storage is not preserved after quitting the WebShell application. This means for applications that use local storage to save information such as authentication tokens, they are lost when exiting the application resulting in the user having to re-login.

Any idea on how to get local storage to be preserved after exiting the application?

Clean up codebase, use more extensions.

Badge and Notification won't disappear

We I clicked the notifications, the notifications still stayed there after the app window launched. So did the badge.

点击通知后通知没有自动消失（把多个也是如此）

Idea: Use gitter

Maybe its better to use https://gitter.im for some cases, instead of discussing via github issues?

Window initial position always is in the left-bottom of screen

Add geolocation support

Right now this code never runs a callback, it is probably something with permissions.

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
  console.log(position);
});

How to support cmd + m keystroke?

Are there any workaround to minimax the webshell by pressing cmd + m?

Thanks!

My Mac runs OS X 10.10.5, which is lower than WebShell’s minimum deployment target. Change your project’s minimum deployment target or upgrade My Mac’s version of OS X.

Anyone know how to solve this problem?

Webshell for iOS

Maybe it's good to also make a iOS version.

With the local notifications and maybe some other enhancements.

move js hooks into separate js files

Also it can be a folder, jshooks for example, to inject all *.js to a webview from.

Custom Userscripts + Userstyles?

Fluid supports custom Userscripts and Userstyles. Is it possible to add support for these into Webshell?

WebShell crashes sometimes when clicking right after starting WebShell.

make a notification bridge for JavaScript

When I click a notification in Notification Centre, nothing happened

When a user clicked a notification in Notification Centre, it supposed to bring user to the corresponding app, but now, nothing happened.

在通知中心点击通知后，没有任何对应动作发生，然后通知中心内的对应条目也不会消失（在自己打开 app 查看信息后）

File download

Hello,

when I try download PDF file directly from link (or right click > Download Linked File) - will be only opened in app and I cann't go home/back etc.
and any other filetypes I cannot download.

will be possible download files to Downloads dir?

Inject JavaScript and CSS via directory.
