WebView UWP bug

Open DmitryBorodiy opened this issue 4 years ago • 10 comments

Describe the bug

I have a problem with WebView which leads to the app being closed. This bug occurs when a heavy site such as YouTube or Skype for Web is loaded. This bug can happen at any time. The app that uses WebView is written on UWP C#.

I need help with WebView.

Hi Dmitry-hub,

Unfortunately this version of WebView that you are using is being phased out. Would it be possible for you to try to recreate the issue using our modern WebView2 control? You can read more about it here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/hosting/webview2

LOL, so the MSFT proposed solution for an UWP project is to use a component that is not yet available for UWP?. Cannot make this stuff up.

Hi jhwheuer,

We currently have an alpha version out for UWP. I realized this wasn't clear in our documentation, thanks for bringing that to our attention, I have updated our documentation accordingly. WebView2 is a new technology we are actively working on, my main point is the old WebView is being deprecated and we believe for most scenarios it is best to develop with the new WebView2.

Thanks!

Well that makes sense. I am struggling with WebView and script injection. I will post a question regarding this next week, seem to be stuck. Thank you

Hi pagoe,

What is the ETA on GA for WebView2 on UWP? I am building a wrapper app for html based single-page-app to better support local I/O, and would rather not build on a deprecated component...

@jhwheuer the WebView in this repo is for using the Edge based UWP WebView in WPF and WinForms. Thought looking now I think @Dmitiry-hub was just talking about the normal WebView in UWP, which this repo wouldn't be the right place to post about. Though I think more explicit information/repo steps would be required.

The system's Edge based WebView for UWP is still in the platform for the time being, though I imagine it'll eventually be replaced with WebView2. You can see the WinUI Roadmap here and the latest WebView2 thread here.
