Android IWA

[No Name]

Good afternoon IWA devs

I noticed on this message: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/9r7YaFuASec/m/4sOKreIIAwAJ

"Supporting Android is not on our near-term roadmap"

I really need android IWAs for my use case, is it on the roadmap whatsoever? Or how difficult would you estimate it to be to implement? 

I might take a shot at implementing this feature myself, the only other solutions ive found are: (my current architecture) using a custom build of termux+a custom build of a x11 server compositor app to run chrome-linux or AVF pVMs to run linux+x11 server compositor app+chrome-linux or Samsung DeX+chrome-linux and running IWA on top of chrome-linux ARM build

My current solution is adequate but primarily has performance issues (freedreno drivers have helped these a lot : https://github.com/LinuxDroidMaster/Termux-Desktops/blob/main/Documentation/HardwareAcceleration.md ), and while I love the security benefits of pVMs they are not currently accessible to the majority of the android market, so I'm hoping to build a chrome-android APK with IWA support to run my IWA on instead

I would assume IWAs would be implemented on Android around when Google transitions Chrome OS to Android based Aluminum OS. But I'm curious why you really need IWAs on Android instead of just using the regular ways to build hybrid apps?

RE: Daniel Herr <danielher...@gmail.com>: IWA capabilities, eg. controlled frame, in combo with the DX of just writing a single web app that works across platforms. https://mc.ethan.lol/output.mp4 for example this IWA is using controlled frame, currently working on Pixel10 & samsung s24&s25 via termux (running on android) running chrome-linux ARM
