Open a web page in a sheet over your running game. On iOS and Android the app is never backgrounded and the scene is never reloaded, so the player comes back exactly where they were.The package is independent of the render pipeline. It calls the operating system's own in-app browser through two small native plugins, so nothing is drawn by Unity and nothing needs a renderer feature. It works the same on Built-in, URP and HDRP, and on a project with no pipeline package at all. Android needs androidx.browser 1.8.0; the read-me gives both ways to add it.Your support page, your terms, your patch notes. Today Unity has one way to show any of them, and itis the one a game does not want: `Application.OpenURL` pushes your app to the background and bringsSafari or Chrome forward as a separate app. On a mid-range Android device coming back can mean anapp restart. Even when it does not, the music stops, the session breaks, and a two-line privacypolicy costs the player their place in the game.This package opens the same page in a sheet that slides up over the running game.WHAT YOU GET• One line of code: Browser.Open("https://example.com/support")• iOS uses SFSafariViewController presented as a modal inside your own app. The process is neverbackgrounded, OnApplicationPause is never raised, audio keeps playing and the game loop keepsrunning behind the sheet• Android uses a Chrome Custom Tab, shown as a partial sheet where the platform supports it• Real browser behaviour you do not have to maintain: cookies, saved passwords, reader mode, share,and the address bar that shows the player which site they are actually onTHE SHEET IS YOURS TO SHAPE• Height as a fraction of the screen, from a third of the screen up to full screen• Draggable up to full screen, or fixed where you set it• Toolbar colour and text colour, page title on or off, share button on or off• iOS dismiss wording: Done, Close or Cancel• Bar collapsing while the user scrolls, and an isolated no-cookie session when you need oneEVENTS AND STATE• OnOpened, OnClosed and OnFailed, all raised on the Unity main thread• Browser.IsOpen so your own pause handling can tell the browser sheet apart from the playerleaving, and Browser.IsSupported so you know what the device can do before you ask• Browser.Prewarm to warm the browser process before the player tapsHONEST ABOUT THE PLATFORMSOn iOS the sheet is a modal inside your app and nothing pauses. On Android a Custom Tab is aseparate Activity in the same task, so a full-screen tab does raise OnApplicationPause. The packagesays so, gives you the flag to handle it, and the read-me carries the table. The partial sheet needsAndroid 12L and Chrome 107 or newer, and drops to full screen in landscape and in multi-window onevery version. That is platform behaviour, not a bug, and the code accepts it silently instead ofpretending otherwise.CLEAN AND SAFE• No Unity package dependencies. The Android backend is gated on the Android JNI module andcompiles without it• Namespaced code (Krykftn.QuickInAppBrowser) in its own assemblies, editor code editor-only• The Android package visibility entry ships in the plugin's own manifest, so the Custom Tabsservice is actually found on Android 11 and newer• SafariServices.framework is linked by a post-process build step, so iOS needs no setup at all• Editor, desktop and WebGL compile and run, falling back to Application.OpenURLREQUIREMENTS• Unity 2022.3 LTS or newer• iOS 13+, Android 5.0+ (API 21)• Android needs androidx.browser 1.8.0. There is an External Dependency Manager manifest for projects thathave EDM4U, and a one-line manual alternative for projects that do notHONEST LIMITSThe partial sheet is a request, not a guarantee: below Android 12L, below Chrome 107, in landscapeand in multi-window the same call opens a full-screen tab. On iOS 13 and 14 there are no detents, sothe height ratio is ignored and the system page sheet height is used. Prewarm is an Android-onlyAPI and is a no-op on iOS rather than a lie.Features:• One static entry point: Browser.Open, Close, IsOpen, IsSupported, Prewarm• Events OnOpened, OnClosed and OnFailed, all raised on the Unity main thread• BrowserOptions with height ratio, resizability, toolbar and text colour, page title, share button,iOS dismiss wording, bar collapsing, ephemeral session and external fallback, each with a chainable setter• iOS: SFSafariViewController as a sheet, custom detent on iOS 16+, medium and large detents on iOS 15• iOS: both dismissal paths raise OnClosed, the Done button and dragging the sheet down• Android: Chrome Custom Tabs with Partial Custom Tab, corner radius, colour scheme params, warm-up• Android: close detection combines the tab hidden event with the host activity resuming, so leavingand returning to the app does not fire a false close• Android package visibility queries entry shipped in the plugin manifest• iOS post-process build step links SafariServices.framework• Editor, Standalone and WebGL fall back to Application.OpenURL with IsSupported false• No Unity package dependencies; Android backend gated on com.unity.modules.androidjniSupported OS: iOS 13+, iPadOS, visionOS, Android 5.0+ (API 21)Documentation: Documentation/README.md inside the package
