With the release of Safari 12, Safari will no longer support NPAPI plugins. My use case is to be able to launch a java application located on a client from a browser extension which I can currently do in Chrome and Firefox with NativeMessaging. From my reasearch, I do not see a way to do this in Safari 12. The closest I can see is their "Safari App Extension" project but this looks like it requires that you package up your native app with the extension and distribute it through the App Store. I am not at all a Mac developer so I am looking for some advice. Does anyone know if Safari supports my use case?
We can create a extension that will download our dmg app with the native code.And run the dmg app after it is getting downloaded.
Then we can place our extension in the safari extension gallery.
We have implemented it in the similar way where our extension look for the json file which in turns download the DMG app that we have kept in the server.

I have created a project that uses Amazon Appstream SDK for .net. I am able to access the streaming application on Windows desktop chrome browser. However, when I try same on Android mobile (latest chrome version) the appstream does not connect to the app.
It displays the following error:
The version of chrome/browser is same (the latest one) both on desktop and android mobile.
Please guide.
Try "request desktop site" in the sidebar.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to support zooming however.
I am working on a test app to test an ane I have built with Google Play Services included. I had things working fine, but recently I updated the version of the Google Play Services library I was using, and now when I built the project in Adobe Flash CC, it seems to be stripping out the Google Play Services classes from the apk. When I decompile the apk I can see they are missing. When I put back the old version of GPlay, I can see it doesn't strip them out.
This post mentions a tool within the AIR needs updating (dx.jar) and this post seems to have the same message. I did update that file but it did not fix the issue.
Thanks!
The problem will be with the AIR SDK. You need to update the dx.jar in your AIR SDK, I've logged an issue with Adobe about this but they haven't updated the build tools as yet so we have to do it manually:
Have a look here for the details: http://airnativeextensions.com/knowledgebase/tutorial/5
It's important that you have a recent version of the Android SDK installed and updated for this to work.
Also rather than packaging the Google Play Libraries into your ANE I suggest you use a shared ANE, like this one:

Otherwise you can cause conflicts with other ANE's that use the Google Play Library.
I'm trying to write ppapi plugin for Chrome which will use webcam (show preview and write file). I have installed NaCl sdk with pepper_35.
There available examples in /examples/api/ folder: media_stream_audio and media_stream_video.
The audio example works fine - requests access to microphone and shows some kind of preview.
The "media_stream_video" example must show web-camera video preview, but when I load example on the local web server (with make serve command), there appears red rect, and Chrome asks for the web camera access. When I click “allow” - webcam indicator lights-up, chrome show that web page uses the web camera, and I see the camera settings icon. But the preview doesn't work, there still red rectangle instead.
I checked this on Windows 8.1, Windows 7 and Mac OS X, with five different webcams, and have no idea what can be wrong.
Maybe someone already encountered with the same problem?
Installing the pepper_37(dev) version of NaCl SDK solved the problem. Looks like it is unstable version currently, but it works.
I built the chromium for android following these instructions https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/AndroidBuildInstructions .
I got the content shell only not the full browser.
Then, I built the Firefox for Android. I successfully got the Full web browser. But the performance of the chrome content shell was much much better than that of Firefox Android build. Now, I want to try building the Firefox Android using chromium rendering Engine, Blink replacing the Gecko rendering Engine. How much is the difficulty level and how can I start.
Thanks,
Chromium uses Blink (earlier Webkit) as its rendering, and V8 for Javascript interpretation along with various 3rd party dependencies. Even though Content shell is a small browser (sans complex UI of Chromium) it is functional and a wrapper over Blink. Having said that fitting Blink with Firefox (instead of Gecko) will be a new project by itself, probably you can try building Webview, so that you can build a simple browser itself in android. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html
Chromium - Open Source project
Chrome- Google's proprietary software + Chromium
In Android only Google Chrome can be installed as APK, wherease Chromium can be built as content shell or used through WebView

I have problem as following. I use a Titanium Studio, build: 3.1.1.201306112235 with SDK 3.1.1 GA (on Windows 7). When I try to run example app as "Mobile Web Preview in Browser", then I saw mobile app in my Firefox (version 21.0) but any actions associated with 'clicks' don't work. Furthermore when I try run the same app in Chrome I see the same behaviour. Only in Internet Explorer app works properly (version 10). Do you have idea why apps from Titanium don't work properly? If you would like to get some more logs just ask.
EDIT: I provide remote access, and reopen page by Firefox in the same version on my colleague's laptop. Then in here browser everything works well. So i have question which settings, on my browser can "freezing" titanium application. Javascript is running, so I don't have idea, what is bad in my configuration.
This sounds like you are making web service calls to a remote host, which violates the same-origin-policy built into recent versions of chrome.
Try opening up chrome with this policy disabled:
chrome.exe --disable-web-security
