Thanks Eric !

 

I would very really love to use web components and Polymer for my current 
and future projects. 

 

Every time I read an angular directive or some jquery based UI code I wish 
I could avoid it and write things in the way html and js should have been 
to start with, which is the web components way.

 

But we are a hitting a massive roadblock at this stage as to how to ship on 
Android. I am sure you will agree that requiring Android 4.4 from end users 
is a non-starter for commercial apps ( 2.5% as of last update of the 
android dashboard)

 

It is somewhat ironic that we have a path to use and ship using Polymer on 
IOS and even on Windows Phone but not on Android.

 

So it seems that the only path to allow shipping apps within at least 18 
months on Android is actually to get the Chromium webview in the apk. We 
had a thread a few weeks ago related to the new mobile chrome apps 
toolchain but it died.

I think having that pushed up the priority list within Google is critical 
to adoption of Polymer for mobile development.

Let me re-ask what I had asked a while ago and got no answer. What can we 
do to help lobbying to move that up the priority list ?
