is webkit trying to accomplish the same thing as custom elements v2 ?
https://webkit.org/
https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/getting-started/primers/customelements
If so will safari ever support custom elements? Apple dev's website claims they will, but then they reference 'webkit' and not 'custom elements'. This makes me worried that Safari 10.1 will still not run the 'custom elements' I programmed for my website. True or false?

If safari will never support custom elements, does anyone know of a 'wrapper' or some way to write custom elements with one source-code base, but also have the website run on safari?
Why would google chrome today (march 28,2017), which supports custom elements, not render properly from iPad, but would work fine when using the browser from mac?

Webkit, Safari's Web engine, is trying to implement Custom Elements v1.

Yes, at least autonomous custom elements. For customized built-in elements you'll need a polyfill (see below).
does anyone know of a 'wrapper' ?
There are 2 polyfills availables.

Maybe you version on Chrome or OS X is too old. Maybe you can update them.

I have been trying my hands for POC on an idea and trying to find languages which can support Mobile app development (Android/IOS) via single source code.
I zeroed on React-Native and Flutter.
What I found that for React-Native you still have to write code which is platform specific. Components need to be written differently for IOS and Android.
Then I looked in FLutter and I found that - "Flutter's widgets, however, while there are more of them, aren't really adaptive".
I am not able to understand it and what it means.
It would be really helpful if someone can help me with example or guide me to good reference.
In Flutter you have different sets of Widget Collection:
Material Widgets: Android-style
Cupertino Widgets: iOS-style
And lots of Widgets which aren't bound to one of those styles.
With this you are able to create a application looking like any style on any of the available platform. Therefore you can also have iOS-style Widgets on Android and vice versa.
If you want to have iOS Widgets on iOS and Android Widgets on Android, you'll have to create some conditional rendering, which decides wether to render iOS or Android components.
Sidenote: The Material-style Widgets look also really good on iOS. Also you can use a ton of other Widgets to create an UI in your own style.
I would like to use use Google Map in my MAC application.
I found the iOS SDK of Google Maps but not for OS X.
I want to show two annotation and a line connecting them on Google Map. Coordinate of both annotation are dynamic as per user selection.
Below is the way I find out that can work:
Call a API and pass the location coordinate for both annotation.
Now Server side a html form is generate using javascript and create a page which is showing the 2 annotation and line connecting them.
In Api Response I will get the URL of that html page.
I will show this page in UIWebView.
I want to know is there any other way I can achieve this.
I want to distribute application outside the mac app store and to distribute outside mac store I need to sign app with Developer ID which does not support the MAPs.
I didn't find anything related to this that's why I created this thread.
Thanks in advance.
I recently ported the Mapbox iOS SDK over to OS X. It has a lot of the features of MapKit, but it’s open source and should also work in a developer-signed application such as yours. To use the Mapbox OS X SDK, download the latest release from the GitHub repository (look for releases beginning with “osx-”) and follow the instructions in README.md. An API reference is included.
I want to show two annotation and a line connecting them on Google Map. Coordinate of both annotation are dynamic as per user selection.
To display the annotations on-screen, you’ll need the MGLPointAnnotation and MGLPolyline classes. You can move the point annotations dynamically by setting their coordinate properties. The polyline, however, is immutable; to change its path, remove the existing polyline and add a new one with the new coordinates.
You will have to make it with WebKit and the Google Maps API.
MapKit is available in OS X 10.9 Mavericks: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/MapKit/Reference/MapKit_Framework_Reference/index.html
There are of course many ways of hiding the fact that you're using WebKit but if they violate Apple's or Google's TOS then submission to the App Store won't be possible.
Hope this will be helpful!
We are going to develop a mobile app (iOS and Android), which should provide downloading and storing several user-selected PDF files and viewing them within the app (iOS with WebView) or with an external PDF Viewer (Android).
My Question is: Is this possible with Trigger.io? I didn't find anything concerning this in the official documentation. Can we do something with the file or the child browser / tabs module? If yes, do you have any examples?
Note: We will use Backbone.js and jQuery Mobile as additional libraries.
The Android webview doesn't allow for inline opening of PDFs - you can test that by opening e.g. http://trigger.io/cross-platform-application-development-blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/trigger.io-whitepaper.pdf in your stock browser.
On iOS, you can use:
forge.tools.getURL('my_file.pdf',
function (file) {
forge.tabs.open(file);
}
);
But that won't work on Android (tested on 2.3, 3 and 4.0).
Short answer - yes.
Downloading, storing, then showing/referencing later can definitely be done. Check out the forge.file documentation.
I have not tried the child browser feature yet. Although the tabs module will work, I think its best to just let the device (and its user settings) decide how to display/render the PDF. I am only saying this because my devices (especially the Android ones... 2.3 and 4.x) tend to behave differently. Either way... the device's "back button" always gets me back to where I left off in my trigger.io app.
Does anyone know what Apple Mail is written in?
I'm trying to determine what component it uses to render HTML, is it using the Webview Class?
Are there any other options to render HTML when building OS X applications?
It's an Objective-C/Cocoa app and it's using WebView.
I know secondhand (from a developer who was tracking down bugs in his app and comparing behavior to Mail) it takes advantage of some undocumented calls to accomplish certain things. But for the most part it's the same WebView that you've got access to.
If you'd rather render HTML a different way, you could check out Gecko, the engine/library that Firefox and Camino are based on.
Adobe Air's (read: Flex) mx:HTML component uses WebKit to render webpages. As such, does anyone know of a way to tweak WebKit's settings via the Air application (or a Flex API)? For example, I'd like to set WebKit's "enable-private-browsing" setting from "false" to "true".
That would be very interesting.
Sadly, judging by the source code of the HTML component and the AIR documentation, it doesn't seem that there's any way to do so.
Maybe something to propose to the Flex/AIR team on JIRA for the next version.
Since it's not possible, I've logged a ticket here: bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-25585 Let's see what happens.
For standalone application (e.g. stand for exhibition) you can build your own WebKit.
