Intercepting https calls on a mac-catalyst webview

[mungojam]

I'm feeling a bit gutted as I spent ages adopting this new interception feature of HybridWebView to add mac support for our internal app. But it now turns out that it can never work on mac due to WebKit limitations which don't allow https/http interception:

#28876

iOS/Mac Catalyst
iOS and Mac Catalyst do NOT allow interception of http and https requests:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebviewconfiguration/seturlschemehandler(_:forurlscheme:)#parameters
It is a programmer error to register a handler for a scheme WebKit already handles, such as https ...

Is there any hope that this restriction would get lifted or any alternative ideas to implement something similar? I guess I'll need to look at automatable browsers that I can package with the app instead.

Please put the restrictions on the .net 10 release notes as I read all of those and it would have been helpful to know before I started.

I feel it's similar to some of the arguments here: #8085. It would be nice to have a chromium based option where there wouldn't be this limitation on mac OS

@mungojam as far I understand CoPilot, this is not a new restriction or was already there from Apple long before .net 10 release, correct? CoPilot had some interesting points about creating man in the middle (proxy), custom scheme ... maybe look into this.
