v3.0.0 (September 2022)

This is a new engine created from scratch by Camilo in 2022. (AGPLv3 or MPLv2 Licenses). It was ditched the old json based approach to a javascript one. Consists of mainly a WebView engine, because there are lots of competition of "native over the wire" frameworks, and was better to focus on the Web App market such as Bubble users.

  • New rewrite of the engine from scratch.
  • Will only focus on webview workflow.
  • No need for Cocoapods, Carthage or Swift PM.
  • Native over the wire workflows delegated to other frameworks like Native Live.

These versions are not currently supported, but maybe something can be learned or be useful. These were using the old engine created originally by Ethan. (MIT License).
