Hi folks,

It’s been a while since I’ve done some work in LiveCode, so I’m kind of diving 
into LC 8 and trying to figure out the widgets, which look like an awesome 
feature.

We (Read Naturally) have a possible need to “wrap” a web app in a browser 
control in a native iOS app. We need to get around an issue that occurs in the 
Safari app where media (audio/video) will not play automatically and require 
some kind of user action. There is a property (mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction) 
that can be set on a UIWebView instance in an iOS app. Setting this to NO will 
allow auto playback.

My question is, does the new browser widget use a UIWebView on iOS? I’m 
assuming it does (not sure what else it would use), but I want to make sure. If 
so, is there a way to get a handle to that control (the handle that is normally 
returned by mobileControlCreate)? I would love to use the widget if possible, 
as it would require the least amount of code, obviously. But I need that handle 
to the browser control so I can set the property. If it’s not possible, I’ll go 
ahead and code it using mobileControlCreate, which should work just fine. It’ll 
just take a little longer. Or is it possible to simply set that as a property 
of the browser widget somehow?

Thanks for the help,
