How to provide native support for unsupported webRTC JS APIs in WebKit(WkWebview)

Objective:

Providing native support for the unsupported WebRTC JS APIs in WebKit and make WebRTC call through the webapp loaded in WkWebView.

So far What I have tried:

As of now WebRTC W3C JavaScript APIs is not supported in webkit.

There is a cross platform plugin available from cordova to support webRTC but I don't want to go cross platform way.

There is a webRTC native framework available but I don't want to go completely native way.

So far I was able to override navigator.getUserMedia in JavaScript 

navigator.getUserMedia = function(constraints, onSuccess, onError){
    myWebRTC.getUserMedia(document.getElementById('roomid').value)
}

and call native AppRTC SDK API to initiate the call from the native side and it works.

if let roomId=NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().valueForKey("RoomId"){
    appClient = ARDAppClient(delegate: self)
    appClient?.createLocalMediaStream()
    appClient?.connectToRoomWithId(String(roomId), options: nil)
    localVideoView?.hidden = false;
    remoteVideoView?.hidden = false;
    btnDisconnect?.hidden = false;
    webview?.hidden = true;
}

Here is the complete source code

AppRTC it has its own native video view, but I want to show the video in HTML element inside the webview.

AppRTC doesn't provide a video stream as well... even if I could a way to get the stream out of it. How can I give the stream to wkwebview is a challenge because its RTC with just evaluate JavaScript I don't think its possible.

So I have integrated CocoaHTTPServer and I am thinking of finding a way to stream from this to WkWebView.

Any insights, suggestions in achieving my objective is highly appreciated!

You can use the plugin iosRTC for iOS and crosswalk for android but we didn't found a cross platform plugin :/
