Hi
I've got a polymer app working on android v4.4.4 and 4.3 using cca and it is definitely bundling chrome with the app (or polymer wouldn't work in 4.3).

My problem is with cca on iOS. Its not deploying chrome with my app. The user agent is Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 7_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/537.51.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/11D167 (4477654960).

I've tried using cca v0.3.1 and v0.3.2-dev with no luck.

Not sure if I'm missing something special for iOS or not. It's not working for a basic app either:

cca create hello
cd hello
cca emulate ios

Thank you in advance.

Crosswalk is intended to only work on Android. This is because iOS applications displaying web content must use the system UIWebView. This is a limitation set by the application guidelines. This limitation also applies to the Chrome Browser app for iOS, and so there does not exist the equivalent of crosswalk for iOS.

Re-reading our FAQ, I think that isn't 100% clear, so I'll make sure to update the docs.

Wow, so Chrome on iOS is actually safari. That was unexpected.

Thanks anyway.
