Webview2 - Is it supported on net8.0-desktop

[rruprai1]

Is webview2 support on net8.0-desktop for MacOS? It seems Linux is not supported.

Docs suggest it is: https://platform.uno/docs/articles/controls/WebView.html

however:
warning Uno0001: Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.WebView2.CoreWebView2 is not implemented in Uno (https://aka.platform.uno/notimplemented?m=Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.WebView2.CoreWebView2) (https://aka.platform.uno/notimplemented) [/....csproj::TargetFramework=net8.0-desktop]

Using uno.sdk 5.2.132.

Could I be missing something in csproj to include? Right now I only have Hosting and ThemeService

Hey @rruprai1,

Thank you for your question. I believe that WebView2 is currently supported only on macOS Catalyst (net8.0-maccatalyst), not on macOS Skia (net8.0-desktop). You can refer to this discussion for more details: GitHub Discussion Link. Could you please test this out when you build for this target?

CC @MartinZikmund We should clarify this in the documentation, as it may be confusing.

@morning4coffe-dev you are right, feel free to make PR for the docs update please

I think there is till an issue, I've compiling using net8.0-maccatalyst, following the example on uno docs for webview2, https://platform.uno/docs/articles/controls/WebView.html and still not seeing the content load.

Using Uno.SDK 5.3.99

Actually NVM, I have messed up lauch/task settings.

Thanks for that info, I didn't know about net8.0-macos, is there any doc about it on UNO?

Right now I've been using the online docs and following:
https://platform.uno/docs/articles/getting-started/requirements.html

@rruprai1 My apologies, the correct target is net8.0-maccatalyst. The documentation you are following should be up-to-date, and if you use our wizard with Visual Studio or on new.platform.uno, you should be able to select this target without any issues:

Please let me know if this helps.

No worries. Thanks.
