It is intended to be a replacement for the built-in WebView (which will be [removed from core](https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/pull/3)). ## Core Maintainers - Sponsoring companies _This project is maintained for free by these people using both their free time and their company work time._ - [Thibault Malbranche](https://github.com/Titozzz) ([Twitter @titozzz](https://twitter.com/titozzz)) from [Brigad](https://brigad.co/about) - [Jamon Holmgren](https://github.com/jamonholmgren) ([Twitter @jamonholmgren](https://twitter.com/jamonholmgren)) from [Infinite Red](https://infinite.red/react-native) ## Platforms Supported - [x] iOS - [x] Android - [x] macOS - [x] Windows _Note: Expo support for React Native WebView started with [Expo SDK v33.0.0](https://blog.expo.io/expo-sdk-v33-0-0-is-now-available-52d1c99dfe4c)._ ## Getting Started Read our [Getting Started Guide](docs/Getting-Started.md).

If you're interested in contributing, check out the [Contributing Guide](./docs/Contributing.md). ## Common issues - If you're getting `Invariant Violation: Native component for "RNCWebView does not exist"` it likely means you forgot to run `react-native link` or there was some error with the linking process ## Contributing See [Contributing.md](https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-webview/blob/master/docs/Contributing.md) ## Contributors Thanks goes to these wonderful people ([emoji key](https://github.com/all-contributors/all-contributors#emoji-key-)):
