@CastelloBrancoTecnologia As @maxkatz6 pointed out, you can use the official Rider extension for Avalonia itself. Perhaps you aren't aware this exists? It is pretty powerful on its own and has almost the same feature set as far as I can tell. You really shouldn't need another one and you can try this out today on macOS. |

I use the rider extension. What i say is abaout the incentive to macos users to buy acelerate if plug-in is not for rider... |

The rest of the controls is the incentive. 🤷♂️ Rider already has a relatively good IDE experience for XAML and doesn't really need an alternate XAML editor. Hopefully the accelerate VS extension will improve Avalonia's exposure of IDE-relevant metadata so Rider can build their own integration. |

@maxkatz6 Regarding NativeWebView — according to the docs, it’s not supported on Linux. |

How about looking into implementing WPEWebKit? I have been successful with creating a nuget friendly build for this as well as creating a useable WebView implementation. It involves manual dispatching key / touch / mouse events to the library, and you can render the pixels using This obviously brings a few libraries along with it, which is about 163 MB in total, but tbh, it's light weight and works perfectly fine, and it's not tied to a window manager (AFAIK). |

Adding over a hundred MB to app size is not an easy sell for several types of apps that use Avalonia today. This is especially true for mobile and embedded. If you manage your own update infrastructure the cost in bandwidth is measurable too. You can't make the assumption you just made. |

I did not make any assumption, in fact I explicitly said there are reasons where it might make sense, such as if you need such a small app. |

@thevortexcloud You did say:
Which I took to mean there is no value in shipping two types of WebView controls. You also said most desktop apps embed a browser these days anyway. I'm simply saying NativeWebView serves its intended use case. We probably should not be embedding a full browser there or others can't use it. I also see the need for Linux support though. But I stand by the conclusion we need two different controls and packages. |

Simple choose or chromium or webkit (not the browser, the framework) and use it on Linux. Or reduce the scope on linux and assume gtk as prerequisite and use gtkwebview component of gtk (gnome) |

getUserMediaspecific features (camera/mic, screen sharing)Yes, these are supported starting with 11.2.4 webview version.
Just like with any other such Apple feature, you need to setup permissions on your bundle. NSCameraUsageDescription and NSMicrophoneUsageDescription for instance.
https://webrtc.github.io/samples is a good website to test these features.
Voice over, accessibilities, IME
These are supported out of the box by Apple WebKit itself. No extra permissions are necessary.
