iOS Question Webserver in app

[wl]

Hi,

I'm looking on running a local webserver on iOS and have it render pages within a webview (in the same app).

Would this be possible ? It seems there is no webserver in B4I as there is in B4A ?

There is no B4i library similar to B4A HttpServer.

What do you need it for?

It would be nice to make a small webpage and have it hosted locally (pages rendered in a webview) without the need for a network connection...

This is already possible. You can save the html / css / js files and load them with WebView.

thanks Erel,

But then there is no way to have something running in the "background" to save the data in a SQLite database, run some B4X code, ...

You need to provide more information. What exactly do you want to show in the WebView?

Check DBUtils.ExecuteHtmlTable for an example. It allows interacting with the data.

I would like the webpage to post data to an IOS app, the IOS app generate a HTML page dynamically.

In short: a web app that runs locally (client side in a webview, logic in B4X - HTTP server).
