Is anyone actively working on that?

We are working towards it, yup.

Any timeline?

It's a pretty large effort. We plan to have a minimal working version in Q1.

Is there a more detailed estimating on remaining work? This can save a lot of workarounds for several progressive app related problems.

Comment 7

Any progress or plan? The next stage of works on Android Push may benefit from this.

It's a work in progress that is partially working right now (you can use multiple GeckoViews in a non-Fennec app), but there's no timeline for full functionality.

What parts don't work properly yet?

You can load an initial page, navigate, pan/zoom, and input text. Everything else (e.g. using the GeckoView API) is not supported.

Move some old bugs with `[geckoview]` in their summary to the GeckoView Bugzilla component.
