Building CEF for iOS

Postby silverroots » Tue Jul 15, 2014 4:50 pm

I want to add Chromium Embedded in an iOS app. Is it possible to integrate Chromium Embedded in an iOS app?
Can anyone share the building instructions for iOS ? I looked at cef.gyp to change the target_os but it seems lot of change.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks & Regards

This was a year back. I suppose chromium can be build for iOS now as Apple has allowed the WebView to be used. IMHO CEF should be able to build for iOS now. Is there any attempt? If not, I can try to build with some guidelines or pointers and I can surely share the progress. I would really appreciate any help in this.

What do you mean by this? Chrome on iOS is just a wrapper around Apple's UIWebView. You might as well just use UIWebView directly in your iOS application.

I am attempting to use CEF as a game backend rendering engine. Valve uses the same as their backend engine I suppose but its not on iOS yet. I am trying to figure out if CEF can be used as a rendering engine & in-game browser replacement for iOS games. Appreciate your reply.

No, that is not possible on iOS. Only desktop platforms are currently supported.

Ohh. Is there any plan to support iOS/Android in future? I am very interested in this. And probably am trying to work around/implement cef using UIWebView. Will that be impossible? What might be the blocks in implementing CefBrowserHostView using UIWebView rather than NSView? I might sound asking foolish questions but any help is appreciable.
