Allow local files (PWA app) in WebView (CORS)

[romanov]

Description

Hello!

I am not sure if it yet possible or is it just a CORS issue (https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/7920)

The Problem I would like to wrap my PWA and use native capabilities.

I create a blank new MAUI native app, with 1 WebView. I put my local files into Asset folder and then can load index.html into WebView.

But if want to use external javascript files or libs, i get CORS block (request block from https://0.0.0.0).

Why not MAUI Blazor Blazor is a good example of what i can create with HTML/JS/C#, but what if i want to use different frameworks or create my simple PWA without any overhead.

PWA in Google Store I can publish PWA to Google, but i want to use hybrid app for additional options and i can't publish PWA to IOS (i can, but i need to wrap it again with another toolkits).

Public API Changes

Allow any requests to local files (shiped in assets folder) in WebView.

Intended Use-Case

PWA

This does make sense. If I package files with my application then it really makes no sense that I am not allowed to load them in my own app browser.

Any update on this? Since webview causes fatal crashes on some websites randomly.
