WKWebView and goodies Latest
Latest

This is one of the biggest updates to Bowser ever:

  • Moved to WKWebView, making the app much more reliable (and faster). Due to timing issues when injecting the WebRTC bridge, reloads and page navigation sometimes caused Bowser to loose its WebRTC functionality. WKWebView adds new API's for injecting JavaScript effectively solving these issues.
  • Video delay has been reduced significantly for both hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding as well as VP8 (software).
  • ICE is now much more robust.
  • Many WebRTC standards compliancy fixes, including (finally) supporting proper "createOffer".
  • Overall performance improvements.

We have also moved to require iOS 9.0 as there are/were issues with WKWebView on iOS 8.x.
