Edge WebView

Available from Version 1.7.0

The Windows Edge WebView utilises the Modern WebView WPF version.

It is still quite raw and doesn't have the feature set of CEF. Please consider it a beta feature.

Please see Microsoft's known issues before opening an issue on the WebViewANE repo.

The main benefits are:

• support for AAC and H.264 codec
• smaller dependency footprint (single dll of ~150KB)

Prerequisites

You will need

• Windows 10 April 2018 Update
• PowerShell on Windows
• AIR 32

The ANE + Dependencies

From the command line cd into /example-desktop-complete and run in PowerShell:

PS get_dependencies.ps1

C# library files Important!

C# and CefSharp binaries are now packaged inside the ANE. All previous versions of these need to be deleted from your AIRSDK if you upgrade to 2.5.0+.
FreSharp.ane is now a required dependency for Windows.

• This ANE and CEF were built with MS Visual Studio 2015. As such your machine (and user's machines) will need to have Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) runtime installed. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

• This ANE also uses .NET 4.6.2 Framework. As such your machine (and user's machines) will need to have to have this (or greater) installed. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3151802/the-net-framework-4-6-2-web-installer-for-windows

• If you only wish to use the Edge WebView and not the CefSharp Chromium version then you can download and use WebViewANE.Edge.ane from https://github.com/tuarua/WebViewANE/releases

Packaging for release

It is highly recommended you package your app for release using an installer.

Please see the win_installer folder for an example Inno Setup project which handles .NET 4.6.2 and MSV2015 dependencies.
