Hey John,

This app is way to far out of date and doesn’t work. Please can you accept my refund request or provide an up to date codebase.

Best regards Kyle

Hey khill22, thanks! This app should work, and we are happy to help but can also accept your refund, but we do not see the request by Envato yet. Please request via Envato first, see https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821460 Thanks :)

Is this still working at current MacOS standards cause the latest update is 2023?

Thanks for your feedback and the comment and hey again, Rory! Yes, this is rather a side hustle compared to our WebViewGold mobile app templates, feel free to ask Envato for a refund, probably the best case for this. At the moment, we only support it as it is. Version number however sounds like an Xcode bug, it works for me, maybe a Mac restart helps? Happy Monday!

I’ll ask for a Refund for now! And invest in the WVG Android plugin I just bought :-) and will monitor this plugin for later on.

Approved refund, thanks for your understanding :)

Hi. If my wp site has push notifications on the site through onesignal, will the push notifications work on this macos app smoothly?

Hello, Rosvaldas! Thanks so much for your comment! No, this is Web Push and not supported by WebView on macOS. Best wishes, and have a fantastic day! :)

Waiting for the webview for windows app

Hello, SeeVCard,

Thank you for reaching out and expressing interest in a WebViewGold app for Windows. Currently, our focus has been on developing and refining our iOS & Android versions while we consider our desktop app for macOS more of a hobby side project. As of now, we do not have plans to develop a WebView app specifically for Windows. However, we understand the importance of having the right tools for your needs. If you are looking for alternatives that function similarly on Windows, we would be more than happy to provide recommendations. Please feel free to contact us, and we’ll do our best to guide you towards software that aligns with your requirements

We appreciate your understanding and are here to assist you with any further questions or needs. Thank you for considering WebView, and we hope to be of service to you in the future.

can html game convert too ?

Greetings, kavirizki86! We appreciate your question and interest in WebViewGold. Yes, WebViewGold supports all kinds of web apps/websites (including HTML, PHP, WordPress, Progressive Web Apps, HTML 5 Games, WiX, bubble. Webflow …). Think about your app like a full-screen browser. Everything will work and look like your web app/website. All the changes you have made to your website will be applied to your app immediately. If you have any further questions, we’re more than happy to assist you. You can also schedule a video consultation call with us through the support section on our website, www.webviewgold.com. Additionally, on our website, you can register for one of our free workshops. We would be honored to have you as a part of the WebViewGold community. Thanks again for your comment. Have a fantastic day! :)

hello sir i want to buy bundle of your script webview to android/ios/macos app , can you provide installation for all ?

Hello, kavirizki86! At the moment, we don’t have a iOS + Android + macOS bundle available. However, we’re here to assist you and offer support if you need it. Thanks & wishing you all the best!

It would be enough to provide a demo version of the application because the link on codecanyon is not working.

requested information: - with the WebViewGold for macOS is possible to open popup pages via javascript? - with the WebViewGold for macOS is possible to print pages via js and via jquery?

Thank you for reaching out, ravia. Thanks also for the feedback, our demo link is working in Germany, and the issue may be due to country-specific restrictions in the App Store. The support for popup page opening and page printing through JavaScript and jQuery in WebViewGold for macOS is limited and may depend on the implementation of the specific web application. Some web apps may have these features inbuilt and work as desired, while others may not. If you have specific requirements, we recommend testing with a sample web application to confirm compatibility. If the features do not work as desired, you can always try it out and request a refund if necessary – as outlined in the article on https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821460-Can-I-Get-A-Refund- –. and we will process the refund for you. Thank you, and best regards!

since you were unable to tell me if it possible to print and open pop-up pages with webviewgold for macos, as you recommended me, I bought the app to test these functions.

Unfortunately, as with all webviews for macos, it is not possible to open pop-ups and print a webpage.

IMPORTANT: Is there a method to print and open popups via javascript directly from the web page or do I need to request a refund? Thank you

We approved your refund, thanks :-)

hello, In WebViewGold for macOS 1.8, youtube can hear audio but not see video. In safari browser for macOS, youtube can hear audio and view video fine. thanks.

The reason why the video on youtube.com looks black is not because of the deep link function you developed. The screen looks black in both WebViewGold for macOS 1.6 and WebViewGold for macOS 1.8 before the feature was added.

Thanks for the clarification. We will investigate this issue now & update you asap!

Thanks for your patience, nuriweb1! We are still in the process of investigating the issue with the specific YouTube site. The interesting thing is that it seems to work on one of our test Macs (without an M1-based chip; see https://prnt.sc/G3PvX68xX4_3 ), making it challenging to debug. Currently, we believe the problem is probably related to the YouTube video codec and M1-based chips and Rosetta, but we will need to do further debugging to confirm this. I created a new support mail ticket, and you will get the updates & solutions by mail. Thanks & best regards. :-)

When will the deeplinking feature be available for macOS version?

Hello, nuriweb1! Thanks so much for your comment, and also, thanks for reaching out about the feature request. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to make it available on macOS in the near future. The API for macOS is much less easy to work with, and it would require significantly more development resources to make the feature compatible with iOS & Android. For a more detailed discussion and/or options for custom development, please reach out by mail to codecanyon-comments@onlineappcreator.com :-) Thanks for being a part of the WebViewGold community! Best wishes, and have a fantastic day! :)

App rejected on AppStore:

Apps should have only the minimum set of entitlements necessary for the app to function properly. If there are entitlements that are not needed, please remove them and submit an updated binary. You will need to Developer Reject the app to upload an updated version.

com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write

com.apple.security.network.server

Can you help me on that so I can upload today again? The support ticket is slow.

Thanks so much for your reply, iBruno and this lovely feedback. Happy to hear that! :-) Please do not forget to rate WebViewGold on CodeCanyon. It only takes a few seconds. Just navigate to the Downloads section of CodeCanyon: https://www.webviewgold.com/docs/android/assets/img/screen5.png We would be delighted. We will consider Push + deeplinking for our macOS version soon. Thanks for being a part of the WebViewGold community! Best wishes, and have a fantastic day! :)

Hello! I will wait your answer for questions below before do my review.

Can you update this app for the next week? Or cancel my order and do a refund? The update is so important because the app don’t works like browser. Because:

- Don’t works with push notifications (like you answer DavidBorja’s comment below, 7 days ago)

- Don’t accept upload of files/images (‍♂️)

- Don’t open with deeplink

Please check / wait for your ticket replies, thanks! :-)

Hi, do you offer push notifications integrated in the app? Thanks!

Hello, DavidBorja! Thanks a lot for your comment and your interest in WebViewGold! Yes, OneSignal and Firebase can be used. Any questions left? You can also schedule a video consultation call with us anytime using the support section of www.webviewgold.com :) Or feel free to ask by text reply! We would love to have you on board in the WebViewGold community! Best wishes, and have a fantastic day! :)

olá, gostaria que voces colocasse minha URL e publicasse o app na app store, voce faz esse serviço ? por onde podemos conversar?

Hello, danielmaf! Thanks a lot for your comment and your interest in WebViewGold for macOS! This is an app template, and we currently offer our full service for iOS & Android only. But there is a step-by-step documentation included, so this should be very easy. Any questions left? You can also schedule a video consultation call with us anytime using the support section of www.webviewgold.com :) Or feel free to ask by text reply! We would love to have you on board in the WebViewGold community! Best wishes, and have a fantastic day! :)

Tried to make a standalone app for Synology Drive with this. Works fine, up until I click something that’s supposed to open in a new Tab, when launched in a browser. Here, it just does nothing or in some cases it opens a new tab in whatever web browser I can find. Is there a way to keep that from happening, i.e. to use new tabs in the created app?

Hello, omdot! Thanks so much for your comment!

Happy to hear that most functionality is already working fine. Can you change the link behavior? I guess you are using a target=”_blank” link or a window.open(””); link request? Can you use standard HTML link LINK instead?

Background information: Insert https://www.webviewgold.com/demo/testlinks.php as the WebView URL to see how different link types affect browsing behavior.

Any questions left? Feel free to ask! Thanks for being a part of the WebViewGold community! Best wishes, and have a fantastic day! :)

I’m well aware how HTML links work. As mentioned, I want to use it to make a standalone app for Synology Drive, and I don’t have any control over link behavior inside the aforementioned web application. While I have been able to achieve the behavior I wanted when using something like Unite (see App Store), I can only create Apps that only I can use with that kind of app. So, my question is if there is an option for having the overlays (like a Lightbox effect) Synology Drive is using with your product or not. In the end, it all seems to break down to how CSS is handled. I see that you are in Germany, so maybe we cold step into contact directly and I could provide you with a test account and link so you could see for yourself what I mean.

Thanks so much for your reply. Please mail us to a screenshot and the app source code to codecanyon-comments@onlineappcreator.com – our team is highly dedicated to helping you. We also speak German ;-) Best wishes, and have a fantastic weekend! :)

Hi, are you planning to add a QR reader in the near future or is that not possible on iOS?

Hello, mampato! Thanks a lot for your comment and your interest in WebViewGold for macOS! On macOS, this is not supported or planned for the near future, sorry. Or do you mean iOS? Because WebViewGold for iOS offers a built-in QR code scanner that allows scanning these codes and opening the encrypted URL in the WebView afterward. Any questions left? You can also schedule a video consultation call with us anytime using the support section of www.webviewgold.com :) Or feel free to ask by text reply! We would love to have you on board in the WebViewGold community! Best wishes, and have a fantastic day! :)

this what i get when i update new android studio can you help with that

it was working before

Hello, wowdesignoman! This is about Android, not macOS, right? Anyway: Thanks so much for your comment. Please mail a screenshot and the app source code to senior-tech-support@onlineappcreator.com – our development team is highly dedicated to helping you. The app source code will be too big to be an attachment, so please use a hosting provider like Dropbox and include a shared link in your mail. Moreover, please quote your CodeCanyon comment so that the team can relate to this issue here. Thanks for being a part of the WebViewGold community! Best wishes, and have a fantastic day! :)

It’s good… but could be better…

Firstly, my Archive failed to validate because there was a missing key in the info.plist file – referring to the app Category. I think this is pretty basic, and it should be working. Secondly, there’s very limited customisability compared to the iOS builder. The most basic one is the ‘preventoverscroll’ variable on the iOS build, which is not available on this MacOS build. This means for your macOS view, you still see all the classic website ‘bounce’ when you overscroll and makes it look like a website inside a window. Not great for a proper app distribution. The iOS build looks more professional when you prevent the overscrolling and this should be a simple fix for MacOS version.

Thank you a lot for your honest feedback, larasoft_io! You are right – your suggestion that we set a default category by default, we have implemented and in version 1.8 (5 August 21) also published directly today. The macOS version is indeed a by-product of WebViewGold for iOS and WebViewGold for Android, and not all features are available in the macOS version. But we are working on exciting new features, and thank you for your feedback! If you are ever in the area, we want to invite you for a coffee at our office in Freiburg, Germany. Feel free to contact us in advance by mail, and we will arrange an appointment. Thank you again, and much success with your macOS app! :)
