Crosswalk Webview

[beterine]

Hi All !

Due great performance and api features, I would like to use Crosswalk for a new project, very little, just a website embebed and few calls between JS and JAVA, also I want to make it for iOS so I only need "to work 1 time"

I know Crosswalk is currently unmaintained but do you think guys, it's good idea to still using it? May i have some problems in near future (Compatibility, whatever) ? Crossplataform alternative?

BTW, do you have a copy of Crosswalk documentation? I see all pages are deleted from internet!

Thanks

Doesn't sound like a great thing to be using. Any particular reason why you want to use it?
You could also consider using Apache Cordova.
And there's also Xamarin for cross platform development.

I want to reuse the webview code for iOS version, and i need to make a native code aswell (that is already done in both Android and iOS) so the only way i know to user native code plus a great webview is with CrossWalk , can you tell me why does't sound good to you? thanks!

I said it doesn't sound great for the reasons you yourself gave - that it's unmaintained, and there's no documentation!
I have no experience if it, but based on the information you gave, I wouldn't want to use it.

Thanks for your help, I need to make a bunch of calls between Webview and Java/iOS if i make with Crosswalk, the same code for the calls will work in both systems, if I user the native webview than, I will need to make two version of the code and 2 version of the web embedbed, knowing this, do you have in mind any alternative?

If you want almost guaranteed cross platform portability, then why not implement your system as a website? Particularly if all the app does is present a Webview.

In fact, the system is a website but both apps (iOS and Android) must make some native stuff and background tasks and also the webview part
