Is it possible to embed the safari browser or a downloadable browser such as Google Chrome into a native mobile application? For example, the app runs entirely independent, but has the option to open the safari browser within the application, rather than opening the Safari that is installed into the phone.
No, this is not possible in iOS. Use a UIWebView instead.
Use webviews instead and here is a list of 3rd party webviews which have more or less the same as safari iphone https://www.cocoacontrols.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=webview

I am a web frontend developer and working on buildiing webview pages in hybrid app for the first time.
I was considering Page Visibility API and trying to find out if it is supported by webview browsers, like WKWebView and Android Webview, and couldn't find informations about WKWebView support.
I know there is a safari on iOS tab in caniuse.com, but I am not sure if it means WKWebView supports the same.
so I want to know
if safari on iOS supports something, does it mean WKWebView supports the same?
if not, where can I find informations about WKWebView support?
thank you in advance.
I have error in a phonegap application and in my website when I open it in chrome browser in IOS. I suspect that it happens because of chrome and phonegap use UIWebView class. But there is no errors in mobile safari. So, I would like to know if safari use this class too.
No. Chrome does indeed contain a UIWebView, but most of MobileSafari is built on WebKit.
Apps on iOS or Android devices, do the built-in browsers (like the Facebook & Twitter app) use the OS's browser or do the apps use their own? For instance, if my iOS's main browser is Safari, is it then also used by the apps?
Thanks!
In iOS I think they use the UIWebView class to display a generic web content.
There are also frameworks that allow an application to navigate the web but I don't think they're correlate in any way with Safari.
For the Android part, I guess it's the same..
No. The apps use their own.....
How to embed iOS mobile emulator in normal html5 page to preview the website. Please suggest mobile emulator which we can embed in HTML5, no need of desktop emulator or browser extensions.
Your help is highly appreciated.
I don't think this is possible. Why don't you make a video of your app and embed it in your website, if you what to show users any functionality.
Let's say someone is viewing our website with Chrome on his/her iPhone. Is there a way to force a link to open in Safari instead of Chrome? We would like to do this to help users install our HTML5 app. We know application URLs can open specific apps. Does Safari have its own application URL?
Thanks.
