[iOS] runtime application checks don't work in WebKit2

• Component: Media
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Eric Carlson]

The various application checks in RuntimeApplicationChecksIOS.cpp don't work as expected when running in WebKit2 because they assume [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundleIdentifier]  returns the bundle ID of the host application.

These don't seem like Settings things.  Why don't we just put all this in RuntimeApplicationChecks.h/mm.

Never sure if such things belong in Settings, but I guess it’s OK.

I don’t think the explicit String() is needed here. Is it?

Oops you are right. I copied that from WebKit2 without thinking about whether or not it was necessary.

I don’t understand why this is a bug, and I think the proposed fix (whatever it’s fixing) is conceptually wrong.

Of all the apps being tested for, none currently use the WebKit2 API. On what basis are we customizing behavior for apps that aren’t even clients of the framework? Future adopters of the API should get the API’s standard behavior. If that blocks adoption, they can request whatever additional API they need. If we anticipate such needs, we should provide such API.
