A question about some Phaser API changes

WebView uses neither the same rendering engine nor the same javascript engine as safari.

 

last I heard they had no plans on changing it. :(

Not exactly. UIWebView uses the same renderer and JavaScript engine as Safari, but in a webview, the JavaScript engine does not have JIT (just-in-time) compilation enabled, for security reasons. At least that's how I understand it...

JIT is definitely disabled and disallowed to all devs outside of Apple. producing code dynamically is against their TOS, as it would be difficult for them to verify/validate code that hasn't been generated yet.

 

glad to hear that the other parts are the same now. (though to be pedantic, without the JITter the javascript engine is not sharing the same back-end. the parser / AST generator is likely the same, but it probably diverges there - the needs of a JIT back-end and non-JIT back-end are fairly different)

 

thanks for the clarification!
