🌏Web View

Cross-platform web content display for Unity mobile games

Essential Kit's WebView feature lets Unity teams display web content, run JavaScript, and enable web-to-game communication without maintaining platform-specific code. This tutorial walks you through setup, web view APIs, JavaScript interaction, and troubleshooting so you can integrate web content seamlessly.

Editor Limitation: WebView feature does not work in Unity Editor. Testing requires building to iOS or Android devices.

Looking for a working reference? Open the demo scene at Assets/Plugins/VoxelBusters/EssentialKit/Examples/Scenes/WebViewDemo.unity and the companion script at Assets/Plugins/VoxelBusters/EssentialKit/Examples/Scripts/WebViewDemo.cs to see the full API in action.
