What browser engine does Capacitor use

Question

We have some issues with elements that are rendered differently across devices. So can this be because they use a different browser engine? Is it a browser engine that the device provides or is it packed inside capacitor, and is there a way to set the version of this engine so every device uses the same engine?

Answer 1

The Capacitor documentation seems really good. According to those docs, the browser engine varies by environment.

• On iOS , it uses Apple's WKWebView (Safari-like).

• On Android , it uses an Android WebView with Chrome 60 or higher.

• On Web , of course, it's up to the end user what gets used.
