Hello, I wonder if the development and adaptation of this plugin for Android is possible since Android have generally many problems with WebGL in Phonegap Build.

Thank You!

WKWebView is something specific to iOS. You may want to take a look at Crosswalk

Hello, if I tried but I really complicates my work routine because I have to compile multiple APP, and Phonegap Build is very comfortable to work.

Also in my app finishes CrossWalk not go as well as they should.

I have also tried CocoonJS, with the same results.

This plugin is more practical because it applies only to WebGL iframe elements.

My app works very well with a good performance with Phonegap Build, but has an element that is an image viewing 360 in an iframe, and that's when WebGL is very good and necessary.

There is no option to adapt this plugin for Android?

Thank You!

Another detail, CrossWalk (+ 25Mb) or CocoonJS (+ 16Mb), adds significant weight to my app.
However this pluguin weighs much less.

It is possible somehow?

I think Phonegap users would be so grateful to be able to use WebGL in a simple way.

Thank You!

WKWebView is something created by Apple, specific to iOS, that this plugin takes advantage of. It doesn’t exist on Android. The closest thing similar to it would be Crosswalk.

It could be made easier to add to a project, several people are working on projects to do just that, but they're still a work in progress. It will have to add around 15mb to your project though, because of what it's doing to get that performance gain (packaging the browser cordova uses with the app).
