Use NativeWebViewPlatformImplementationStatusMatrix.Get(platform) to inspect the current repo status in code. Use NativeWebViewProxyPlatformSupportMatrix.Get(platform) for proxy-specific status.

Capability Contract Notes

  • Registered backend modules and Features continue to describe the broader platform capability contract for that engine family.
  • Current repo runtime status is intentionally tracked separately so docs and applications can distinguish stubbed contracts from implemented native host paths.
  • Today, Windows, macOS, and Linux have real embedded NativeWebView control hosts in the default desktop build. iOS and Android runtime paths are built from their platform-targeted backend assemblies rather than the default net8.0 contract build, and the Browser runtime is built from the browser-targeted backend assembly and hosts an iframe plus popup/browser-auth integration through Avalonia Browser native control hosting.

Practical Notes

  • NativeWebDialog is a desktop surface in this repo. For mobile and browser auth flows, use WebAuthenticationBroker instead of expecting dialog parity.
  • Browser auth is popup-based and currently requires popup support plus an inspectable http or https callback URL.
  • Per-instance proxy status should be read separately from general runtime status. Use NativeWebViewProxyPlatformSupportMatrix.Get(platform) when proxy behavior matters to your deployment.
