There we have an web app developed for Android and iPhone (using webview). It is based on Sencha Touch 1.1.1. Thus it runs only on WebKit based browsers, and not on Internet Explorer. I want it to run it on Windows Phone, thus I need to run WebKit (not IE) inside the app (as webview).
Is it possible to build a Windows app with webview which used WebKit?

I wrote project using vb.net with devexpress forms , my question is there way to view my applicatin in browser like java applet or oracle forms.
I don't think it is possible to run an executable file built for windows could run in a browser independently. JAVA is platform independent that's why we are able to run JAVA apps in browser, even we cannot run android apps directly into browser, we have to have complete android emulator device to run android apps. In the same way, we cannot run executable files directly into browser, because they are generated with respect to underline hardware platform
I want to build a simple read-only app which should run on Android, iOS, Windows, OSX and Linux.
Does electron support mobile platform?
I couldn't figure out which one should I go for.
Electron include chrome engine to render web pages as Native apps with support for different plugins to add desktop apps features.
Electrino doesn't include any render engine it uses the Safari engine on the Mac so the installation file is smaller than Electron.
There's no support for Windows yet.
React Native is using a cross-platform render to Android and iOS.
Example: <Text> on Android will be TextView and on iOS will be UITextField
React Native Web made React Native work on web
Example: <Text> on web will be <p> or <label> not sure
and after that, it can work on the desktop by electron
You can build universal apps by using this template by React Native code.
Also if you want a specific target you can add component.web.js or .electron.js
or .android.js or .ios.js so it will render to this target only

Take a look at PWAs. These can be installed on almost all the major mobile and desktop platforms plus it is a web app.

Electron does not support mobile platforms, but it will be difficult to use one framework for mobile apps and computer apps.
I would recomment to use phonegap for mobile and electron for the computer application
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 want to make an iphone app in corona which uses camera and audio recorder functionality but as far as i searched out, camera app is not supported on windows OS.
So am I not able to create such app on windows environment using corona SDK and need to switch to MAC OS??
Not being supported on windows means you cannot test on windows. If you test on the iPhone your app will work fine (if you made it correctly of course).
But you should not be developing for iOS on Windows, it is harder to debug, and you cannot upload it to apple store anyway,
You have to be on a Mac to build for iOS devices (or use a service like MacInTheCloud). Windows can only build for Android. You can develop on Windows but when you need to put it on a device, you will have to have access to a Mac.
I am using Webkit Nightly because i'm working on some new HTML5 features. I would like to look at the application full screen, without the window chrome.
Other browsers have F11 and other buttons to go fullscreen, but webkit doesn't. Is there a way I can launch it in fullscreen mode?

Webkit is a web content engine and its not a browser on its own. Anyway, which port of webkit are you referring to? GTK+? QT? EFL?
I just downloaded and compiled WebKit-r70098 (for GTK+) on my Ubuntu box following this instructions. The demo browser (GtkLauncher) that comes with it creates a window of 800x600 (hardcoded in the code) and doesn't have a fullscreen feature.
Also, the pre-compiled binaries for Mac OS X that allows Safari to run on top of Webkit, don't offer native fullscreen capabilities. Currently there's no fullscreen without tweaking Safari configuration files or using 3rd party plugins (there are lots of them).
EDIT:
On Windows, webkit.exe also doesn't have fullscreen capabilities.
