Would an WebGL package work in mobile?

[keremnymn]

Hi,

I am planning to build a desktop app using Tauri and one of the libraries that I will use is dependent on WebGL (Maplibre GL JS). And also I know that in Tauri 2.0 mobile development is targeted as well.

Since I am mostly from a web development background, I am curious if the app I am developing would work on mobile. Because I know that native mobile apps use different GPU APIs. If Tauri 2.0 mobile support will behave as WebView, I believe it would work, but I am not sure.

I positive that I am missing some points here, any ideas and extra information would be much appreciated.

Generally webgl works on mobile (both android and ios), yes. It shouldn't require any special care on your site and work out of the box.

Hi @FabianLars
I have a similar but special need. On the desktop side, I added an axum static file server in tauri to support the front-end using iframe to display unity webgl, so that I can package resource files and publish them to a non-network environment.
Is this also possible for ios or android? If not, is there any way I can provide similar functions without providing network services?
Thanks

Hi.

I don't think you can spawn a server on mobile but i'm not 100% sure. Did you ever try the asset: protocol (via https://tauri.app/v1/api/js/tauri/#convertfilesrc) for your iframe content? I thought that'd work but also never tried it myself.
Can't think of anything else right now.
