I guess you’ll take the ketchup if you’ve got nothing, but you’ll know it doesn’t taste right and sadly you’ll have to pay just as much for the pleasure of eating it.If it’s not there, the Runtime module may well appear in future. It’s kinda like spaghetti noodles with marinara or ketchup. So to summarize, if it’s hybrid or nothing then you take the hybrid. The worst and most embarrassing is when my contracted admin support staff can’t use her Macs built-in accessibility tools for the hearing impaired. Even React Native which is a far cry better than Electron with its webview2 and native bridge, doesn’t support all native APIs. Nor do I want chat apps that eat a gig of RAM and are slow.īut what’s really sad is that these hybrid apps don’t always support native OS APIs. I didn’t buy a Mac running MacOS to get a slew of apps with weird UI and layouts. What’s worse is that I’m the customer and the software developer is telling me what I want. I hate to pick on MS again, but Teams is awful and I’m the paying customer. Frankly, if I’m paying Microsoft for office and I need outlook, then I expect the native, performant, and full featured application.Īnd moreover the clumsy CSS UI layouts that can’t create buttons or margins within an app window at smaller scales or consistent OS UI language is annoying. I am paying some of them annually or monthly with SaaS. But I’d rather billion and trillion dollar companies hire the dev teams and create real, native apps. If it means no app or it’s really simple, then go hybrid. It's still a lot of languages to master just to make a simple app (like we used to do with C# and the Windows Forms designer) but it's the easiest method for now, rather than having to learn C++ & GTK/QT for Linux and ObjC/Swift for OSX. "Backend" (or app logic) is usually done in JS/C#/Java/Python. as the wrapper, and Angular/Vue/React/etc. This, of course, is provided for now by WebKit/Electron/WebView/etc. Personally, I'd love a way to code my GUI-based app in a single toolkit/framework that works natively across all platforms, with the least amount of code possible. I've been a developer for as long as I can remember (22+ years, maybe?) across all 3 platforms, so I know very well how things are. It could come back, of course, with a way to standarize UI development across all major platforms - or at least, the desktop ones. Native development will become a dinosaur like COBOL and other languages are. HTML, CSS and JS made the groundwork for that, and people figured that slapping a webview over anything that runs that, and just that, without any of the browser overhead, created an easy platform to develop a single UI for all platforms, and sometimes, even the same codebase. The problem with native development is that each and every platform is a brand new world, there's no standards for how the UI should be developed (even though they all use at least all the basic stuff: Forms, buttons, text input, images, etc.). I'm on the latest Win11 stable build btw. Also, I just tested the preview in Explorer and it's fine for me. Apps that need to render a HTML page can use the builtin Webview engine, without using a browser. Think of Webview2 the same as the Android Webview on any Android phone. I use both Firefox and Edge and after uninstalling Webview2, I can continue using Edge just fine. MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTaskMachineCore- MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTaskMachineUAĭisable both to stop Edge from updating (which could potentially also download and install Webview2 again). Under the Task Scheduler root (Task Scheduler Library), you should find 2 tasks: If you want to install it again, download it from here: Īlso, may be a good idea to disable the Edge update task in Task Scheduler. Just run this in Powershell (elevated as Admin):winget uninstall "Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime" This subreddit is suitable for both Office warriors and newbies.Īre you sure?
