Webview on desktop about ion

[adwpc]

the webview access may be the same as the desktop

SO on Desktop, Webview does or DOES NOT have access to the camera and mic ?

Maybe using Flutter Web + Electron is another possible solution.

[winwisely99]

There is a great Webview that golang can use and cpp can use without all the Electron heaviness !

https://github.com/zserge/webview/tree/webview-x

From the Go-flutter code we would just need to open a Window that uses this and load the Flutter Web into it.

Do you want to try ?

@winwisely99 Yes i want to try it out, is it possible to call webrtc api completely

[winwisely99]

As per discussion the best approach for now seems to be:

https://github.com/asticode/go-astilectron

A Make file ( or other ) using this approach here:

I think this should be brought forward because it is important we know this works ASAP.

But what about Notifications and Deeplinking ?

• From Golang its pretty easy to do both, but need to make sure it

But what about Dialogs ? Might suck on Web. Lets see.

I think this example is only used to show running Flutter Web app based on go-astilectron and package it into a Desktop App
Golang interaction with Flutter Web (JS) is another question because ION-based clients do not need to interact with golang on the client-side, you can refer to

SO summary is that ASTI Electron is unsuitable because of how it works.
It unpacks the Electron Framework files at install time ! SO you cant sign it. Its really a hack design IMHO.

The way to fix it is to embed those Framework files into the Desktop at compile time !

• then the ASTI golang code should still work call it
• then hover bundler will include the Electron Framework files when it packages things
