What has been the actual problem with iOS and Safari? Of course, Safari can also play an HLS stream. But the whole thing happens under the hood. WebRTC has been supported by iOS and Safari since 2017, but MEDIA SOURCE EXTENSIONS still cannot be used. These extensions are indispensable for integrating the P2P client of browser-based eCDN solutions. Without the MEDIA SOURCE EXTENSIONS, it appears that no user data can be intercepted at the XHR object or the fetch API, and creating a cluster for peer-to-peer streaming is almost impossible. Luckily there is another way to intercept HTTP traffic while streaming on an iOS device. Even if iOS restricts the possibilities to make adjustments in the browser’s background to make it perfectly cooperating with your own coding and software, there is a way iOS allows developers to insert some web applications inside of Safari. This standard is called “ServiceWorker”. With these ServiceWorkers, you can implement your own software inside of your browser. The ServiceWorkers only give limited freedom, but it’s enough to make a P2P mesh network possible.
WebRTC has already been incorporated into the HTML5 standard and it is broadly deployed in modern browsers. The compatibility of SwarmCloud depends on the browser support of WebRTC and Service Worker.
