Important notes and limitations

• This package only supports Android. To support other platforms, you can install additional 3D WebView packages, and you can save money on multiple packages by buying a bundle. All of the 3D WebView packages work seamlessly together, so all you need to do is install them into the same project, and then 3D WebView automatically detects and uses the correct plugin at runtime and build time.

• 3D WebView's native Android plugins are provided as precompiled libraries, and the native source code for them is not provided.

• 3D WebView's native Android plugins can't run in the editor, so a mock webview implementation is used by default while running in the editor. However, you can actually load and render real web content in the editor by also installing 3D WebView for Windows and macOS into the project. You can save money by buying both packages together in a bundle.

• When not running in Native 2D Mode, this package has the following limitations:
    ◦ Vulkan support requires the VK_ANDROID_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer Vulkan extension and Unity 2020.2 or newer. For more details, please see this page.
    ◦ Scrollbars aren't rendered.
    ◦ Some HTML5 widget popups (like date picker inputs) aren't rendered. For more details, please see this page.

• The browser engine can play multiple videos simultaneously within the same webview, but it's unable to play videos in multiple webviews simultaneously. If a video is played in a webview, it will pause videos playing in other webviews (Android System WebView limitation).

• The Android plugin embeds PDF.js from Mozilla, so you must display a copy of its included Apache 2.0 license in your Android app's about page or credits.
