Hi,
Thank you for reaching out and for your interest.
It is unfortunate that this repository essentially appropriated our previous work and removed the names of our team members, and it has not been updated or maintained since. We did an update to upgrade Ionic to version 5 about half a year ago, but no one has had the energy to complete the latest version. However, a team recently contacted us offering some help, so there might be some follow-up information.
The repository that is currently being maintained is: https://github.com/Web-Media-Foundation/infrastructure/tree/master/packages/capacitor-geckoview
The latest update to ionic 5 can be found here: https://github.com/Web-Media-Foundation/infrastructure/commit/099c6eee42f37db03b995efb9c41a20df737ff48
The link you provided (im.not.ci) is my personal blog. If you need anything, feel free to contact us at Web-Media-Foundation/infrastructure.
Hi,
Thanks for your work. I would like to help you continue this work, whenever I have more time. However I don't understand exactly what changed and what didn't compared to @capacitor/android. I suppose you forked the official @capacitor/android and made small changes to use GeckoView instead of the system WebView? Which parts exactly? I would love if we could maintain a third party @imslp/capacitor-android-geckoview plugin? To be used as a replacement in any existing Capacitor apps, without plugin users to need extra knowledge. Btw I'm a bit confused as to why this repo also embeds example of how to use SQLite? Is the new WebView affecting this in any way?
What did you mean by this TODO? Which features are lacking?
Also stumbled upon this alternative plugin: https://im.not.ci/capacitor-geckoview/
It mentions some specific quirks they had to go through. Have you faced them as well?
Their plugin do not appear to be open source though, or at least I can't find the source code.
Cheers!
