Defold 1.2.84

We have added an initial version of our WebView implementation on mobile platforms. It currently supports; one view, fullscreen only (or hidden) and JavaScript evaluation. Communication from JavaScript to Lua can be performed through the IAC (Inter-app Communication) module.

There are some caveats that are good to know. For instance, the webview.eval() will always return EVAL_OK, due to the iOS SDK implementation. On Android, calling webview.eval() may close the keyboard on older devices.

We have improved the sound management on mobile devices, speakers/headphones are only activated if there’s sound to play, the sound is reactivated after a phone call has ended, and there is a new function sound.is_phone_call_active. This means that a silent game should consume less power, and that sound will continue to play after a phone call as ended.

Testing this soon for ads. Will report on what works.

@britzl already has some examples for ads here although I’m unsure how much is working already so far https://github.com/britzl/publicexamples/tree/master/examples/webview_ads

Note: Leadbolt works. And Google Immersive Ads is semi-working. The other two are not, but I haven’t had time to work with it enough yet.
