Apple TV and WKWebView - ios

Can we develop the app for Apple TV using the HTML5 inside the web view component (WKWebView) or is there any other way to run HTML5 apps or we need to use Swift and build the native app?
Thanks a lot
Petr

Have a look at this project:
https://github.com/Moballo-LLC/tvOS-Browser
It's an objective-c project and uses UIWebView but it's working on Apple TV and you can run HTML5.

creating iOS app for Apple TV using titanium appcelerator

I have created iOS app using appcelerator titanium I want to know if this created app will run on Apple TV or will need to create separate app for Apple TV ?
The idea is to have single ipa that supports iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.
I googled but couldn't find any document where app can be created using Appcelerator for Apple TV.
There is an open request ticket at https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TIMOB-19570
So currently it is not supported
You could try to add it just like using the watchOS target in your app. It may require a bit more tooling when talking about resources, but in general they could be merged together.

iOS video/audio calls with webRTC using UIWebView or any alternative

Im working with integrating my iOS app with ladesk Live agent, they don't have an SDK for iOS neither android, you have to embed a unique URL in a UIWebView as per the integration instructions
but it is faced a fact that the video / call button needs to work with webRTC. The WebRTC framework that is responsible for voice functionality in the browser, however webRTC is not available in the mobile versions of web browsers.
The best thing I found is A WebRTC browser for iOS developed in the open. Bowser is built on top of OpenWebRTC. but it didn't work, and had same results as doing the same with UIWebView
Any ideas in Objective c or swift?
You won't be able to use WebRTC in a UIWebView (or its successor WKWebView) since WebRTC is only available in the Safari app on iOS.
The only way forward is to use a WebRTC stack (like Apprtc) and implement your own solution based on that.

Is it possible to embed SWF in mobile application with PhoneGap

Is it possible to embed SWF animation in PhoneGap application?
Flash doesn't run on iOS devices, so the answer is no. Technically you could use Flex Mobile, but, that's not what you are asking here.

iOS PhoneGap app using WebGL

Which is the WebView of a PhoneGap app, is the Safari mobile or desktop one?
Is it possible to use WebGL in PhoneGap apps? If not which they work around to use them being able to submit the app to the Apple Store and Android Store
Will I be able to submit to Apple Store a PhoneGap app that uses WebGL?
UPDATE:
iOS 8 brought WebGL support on the UIWebView and WKWebView, so if you don't want to support previous versions you can use it without CocoonJS
See more details on ludei's website
OLD:
If you want to create HTML5 apps with WebGL for iOS and android, try CocoonJS
Right now it's the only way to create WebGL apps that run on iOS and android
I just figured out your issues in two points.They are-
phonegap build app links won't open in safari. For More details Please check HERE
Neither the iOS nor Android browsers support WebGL so it is pretty much a non-starter in PhoneGap.
Apple are clearly working towards supporting WebGL in a more general sense, as can be seen in their support for it in iAds.
It’s possible to take advantage of WebGL using standard embedded web views ( using private APIs).
check HERE too fro browser support.
I personally recommend Ejecta for it being open source:
https://github.com/phoboslab/Ejecta
The Android port doesn't seem widely active, but the main ios port seems well maintained, supporting WebGl.
The latest Android versions support webGL directly - if using older Android versions, Crosswalk can also be used along with phonegap to utilize webgl support.

iOS: Flash based programming app for iOS?

I would like to know, Is there way to support Flash based programming app for iOS? It can be native, hybrid or web app. I like to know, is there any possibility to develop Flash based app for iOS devices? I have seen the forums and saying everywhere it is not possible, so just want to confirm before starting any development.
Thank you.
Yes, you can create multiplatform native apps with flash if you use adobe air
