MarketAlly.ViewEngine

MarketAlly.Maui.ViewEngine

📢 Overview

MarketAlly.ViewEngine is a powerful .NET MAUI WebView control that mimics a real browser, enabling full JavaScript support, cookies, WebRTC, and custom User-Agent overrides. It works seamlessly across Android, iOS, and Windows.

🚀 Features

✅ Supports custom User-Agent
✅ Enables cookies, storage, WebRTC, and WebGL
✅ Bypasses WebView detection techniques
✅ Fully compatible with .NET MAUI
✅ Works on Android, iOS, and Windows

📌 Installation

To install the package, run the following command in your .NET MAUI app:

dotnet add package MarketAlly.Maui.ViewEngine

Or, in Visual Studio:

• Open Package Manager Console.
• Run:

  Install-Package MarketAlly.ViewEngine
  

📌 Setup in MauiProgram.cs

After installing, you must register the custom WebView handler inside your .NET MAUI app.

Modify MauiProgram.cs to add the handler:

using Microsoft.Maui;
using Microsoft.Maui.Hosting;
using MarketAlly.Maui.ViewEngine.Controls;
using MarketAlly.Maui.ViewEngine.Handlers;

var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
builder.UseMauiApp<App>();

// Register the custom WebView handler
builder.ConfigureMauiHandlers(handlers =>
{
    handlers.AddHandler(typeof(WebView), typeof(WebViewHandler));
});

return builder.Build();

✅ This ensures your app correctly loads the WebView with platform-specific optimizations.

📌 How to Use WebView

Once registered, you can use WebView in XAML or C#.

🔹 Using in XAML

<ContentPage xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:MarketAlly.ViewEngine.Controls;assembly=MarketAlly.ViewEngine">
    <controls:WebView 
        Source="https://example.com"
        UserAgent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"/>
</ContentPage>

🔹 Using in C#

using MarketAlly.Maui.ViewEngine.Controls;

var webView = new WebView
{
    Source = "https://example.com",
    UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
};

Content = new StackLayout
{
    Children = { webView }
};

📌 FAQ

❓ How does this WebView differ from the default .NET MAUI WebView?

• WebView allows custom User-Agent overrides, enables cookies, storage, WebRTC, and improves browser detection evasion.
• The default .NET MAUI WebView lacks these advanced features.

❓ Does this work with authentication-based websites?

Yes! Cookies and session data persist between navigations, making it suitable for login-based websites.

❓ Does this work on iOS, Android, and Windows?

Yes! It uses:

• Android: Native WebView (with Chrome-like behavior).
• iOS: WKWebView with full JavaScript and cookie support.
• Windows: WebView2 (Chromium-based).

❓ Can I use this with OAuth authentication?

Yes! The WebView can be used for OAuth authentication flows, but we recommend opening authentication pages in the system browser (e.g., SFSafariViewController for iOS or Custom Tabs for Android).
