Is there any ways, we can use Edge webview instead of IE webview for windows 8.1 apps? As i know, Windows 8.1 app runs on Windows 10 too but i just want to update the webview. Only windows 10 apps supports edge webview.
If i migrate my app from 8.1 to 10 (universal) then lots of things needs to be changed and that will introduce much complexity and consume more time in my app. So, i want to stick with windows 8.1 and just update the webview to edge. Is it possible?
I tried <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" /> but it still renders on IE webview (navigator command in console)
Thank you for your help.
I'm building a web-app and I would like to display it as a full-screen app in Windows 8. The result should be something else like in safari on an apple iPad:
Safari:
I've added these two meta-tags in my index.html:
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
Then I opened my web-app in the safari of my iPad and added the site to my homescreen. After this, I got an icon on my homescreen and when I open it, there is my web-app in full-screen, without the browser-containers around it.
Can I do something else with the same web-app on Windows 8? I thought, I could create a metro app, when I add the site to my apps in Internet Explorer. But I think, I also need some meta tags. I found many tutorials on the web, but nothing worked for me.
I suggest that you create a Windows Hosted Web App

Using the Microsoft App Studio, you can do it in minutes

I've created a mobile webbased game and use the "Add to homescreen" feature to allow users to add it as an app to their iOS devices.
However, recently it started malfunctioning. It has always worked without problem but started acting up possibly after the iOS 8.3 update. This is the code in my head, which has not been changed recently so should not be the problem:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=590px, user-scalable=0">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black-translucent">
When I get to the login screen it works without problem, however after logging in in landscape there are suddenly margins to the left and right. If I log in in portrait there are no margins. If I rotate the phone from landscape with margins to portrait it displays normally, if I rotate it back the margins suddenly increase by a lot and if I then try to rotate the device again it crashes.
I have taken some screens to show the problem:

After that last screenshot the webapp just crashes. It only shows this behaviour in the webapp, if I access the game through Safari, my Android app (which loads the website in WebView) or the desktop with a simulated user-agent the website functions properly.
I've tried deleting the webapp, rebooting my phone and adding it back to my homescreen to no avail. I first guessed it was a caching issue but that should have been then resolved after viewing the website correctly in Safari.
For those wanting to try themselves, the game is www.reincarnationgame.com
I have a simple Ember app I've made to learn Ember and I deployed it to Heroku here. When I view it on my desktop and resize the browser window it adjusts accordingly to its mobile view. However, when I look at it on my phone it only displays it as a normal desktop page.
Is this an issue with Ember, Heroku, or Foundation 5?
You need to add to the head of your app.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
I can see that you have it included in your app on github but in the browser that meta tag is not being displayed.
I have an ember app using foundation on heroku here. It is working well on my phone. The code is here.

We have a mobile version of our web site which works well on all mobile screen resolutions and sizes. Now, we would like to build a very simple app for Blackberry and Windows Phone 7. The app would be trivial - after you click on its icon, it opens a web browser and send you to our mobile web site. Just like a Windows OS shortcut that you place on your desktop.
Can you tell me if Blackberry and Windows Phone 7 policies allow such app be published? For example, Apple rejected us.
I can't speak for Blackberry, but Requirement 2.10 from the WP7 Application Certification Requirements:
Your application must have distinct,
substantial and legitimate content and
purpose other than merely launching a webpage.
So the answer seems to be no on the WP7 marketplace. Is there a reason you want to create an app like that anyway? On WP7, users can pin a tile to their home screen that will launch the website they've pinned. You could simply encourage users to do that on their WP7 and you'll get the same effect (except your site won't appear in the app list).
Seems this is okay for BlackBerry. See section 4.b of the App World FAQ.
Very strange. Our company has placed a similar application on Android Market and the Appstore and they have been resolved and now they available at stores. Also, I had a similar application for Windovs Phone, and it was also allowed.
P.S. Our application is not just a browser window, it has custom control panel in bottom. Also it has the communication protocol with the site - such a sending pictures from camera and phone and access to phone contacts.
