3D WebView for Android with Gecko Engine

Easily display and interact with webpages in 3D or 2D using the Unity web browser plugin trusted by hundreds of developers. This version embeds Mozilla's Gecko Browser Engine for improved support on VR headsets like Oculus Quest. See the developer site for full documentation and a comparison with the original 3D WebView for Android package.

• Load a webpage from a URL or HTML string
• Watch videos and YouTube
• Create UIs with HTML
• Get started fast with the 3D WebViewPrefab or 2D CanvasWebViewPrefab, which render to a Texture2D and handle user interactions (click, scroll, hover, drag)
• Type with the included on-screen keyboard or native keyboard
• C# source code for a unified API that works seamlessly across Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, WebGL, and UWP / Hololens
• Powered by GeckoView
• Comprehensive API for controlling the browser and listening to browser events
• Execute JavaScript
• Send messages from C# to JavaScript and vice versa
• View PDFs
• Also includes extra platform-specific APIs

Important notes and limitations

• Product downloads are provided through the Vuplex Developer Dashboard.
• This package only supports Android. To support other platforms, you can install additional 3D WebView packages (Windows and macOS, iOS, UWP, WebGL, or create a custom bundle). All of the 3D WebView packages work seamlessly together, so all you need to do is install them into the same project, and then 3D WebView automatically detects and uses the correct plugin at runtime and build time.
• 3D WebView's native Android plugins are provided as precompiled libraries, and the native source code for them is not provided.
• 3D WebView's native Android plugins can't run in the editor, so a mock webview implementation is used by default while running in the editor. However, you can actually load and render real web content in the editor by also installing 3D WebView for Windows and macOS into the project.
• Unlike the other 3D WebView packages, this package currently doesn't support transparent webviews.
• This package supports Universal Render Pipeline (URP), but WebViewPrefab doesn't currently support the "SRP Batcher" option. So, when using URP, you must either disable SRP Batcher in URP settings or use CanvasWebViewPrefab instead of WebViewPrefab.
• The Android Gecko package doesn't currently support the Build App Bundle build option (GeckoView limitation).
• The Android Gecko plugin embeds an unmodified copy of Mozilla's GeckoView library, so you must display a copy of its included Mozilla Public License in your Android app's about page or credits.
• The Android Gecko plugin embeds PDF.js from Mozilla, so you must display a copy of its included Apache 2.0 license in your Android app's about page or credits.
• All other files are licensed under the Vuplex Commercial Library License.
