Multi-DRM Cross-platform Client Integration Guide
Overview
Cross-platform framework is an app development method that can support various client environments such as web, Android, and iOS with a single development language and framework.
The final result of a cross-platform app is converted into native code for each environment, so it has a performance advantage over a hybrid app that is based on a webview control. Among the various cross-platform frameworks, Flutter developed by Google and React Native from Facebook are the most popular as of now.
This document guides how to support DRM content playback easily and quickly when you develop a client app using Flutter or React Native.
