Hi,

I'm looking for a definitive answer here: - Can we run WebRTC inside of a WKWebView in an iOS 14.4 app? Specifically looking at supporting a video meeting.

This is a 3rd level feature of the app so I'm not at the moment looking at adding a bunch of 3rd party libraries. The best solution for our app is to start a WKWebView with the URL of the meeting. Very plain.

Thank you in advance.

I'm curious about this answer as well - we have a sample of AWS Chime service meeting and it is able to detect devices and broadcast audio/video, but only on iOS 14.3 devices and above - the problem is that the actual WebRTC traffic doesn't seem to be working properly for some reason; other participants joining/leaving, audio/video has a number of issues. SFSafariViewController works without issue as does Safari browser.

Update: Yes it does for very plain implementations. We traced my problem down to a series of firewall & VPN issues that only occurred in our dev environment and working remotely (surprised?). Everything worked as expected once we were back inside the corporate network.
