Webview Specifications

The widget is opened within the World App via a WebView. This means providers can tailor their solutions by considering the specific features and restrictions of these platforms.

Capabilities:

WebView Engine:
- Android: Uses Android's native WebView implementation.
- iOS: Uses WKWebView, the recommended web rendering engine on iOS, offering enhanced security and performance.
File System and Camera Access:
- Access to the camera and file system (e.g., for file uploads) is possible if the user grants permission.
Cookies and DOM Storage:
- Supported on both platforms with explicit activation for Android and default behavior for iOS.

Restrictions:

Geolocation and Other Extra Permissions:
- By default, neither platform enables geolocation or additional permissions. Each new type of permission must be discussed and implemented separately if required.
New Windows:
- Opening new browser windows is prohibited. All navigation remains within the current WebView instance.
Zooming:
- Android: Not restricted by default.
- iOS: Disabled.
