   The correct way to support the new chrome based webview2 would be to create a new cordova platform as it is completely different. Cordova plugins would then have to add support to the new Windows platform as code would have to be written much like Android plugins are with C#/VBasic code that interacts with the webview using messages between each other.
   
   The new Edge can now be integrated with UWP/WinUI and is shipped starting with Windows 10 version 20H1 (build 19042) which means this new cordova platform would only support that version an up. At the time of this post, it seems there is no support for Xbox yet so apps developed for this platform would not support Xbox until Microsoft updates it.

   Everything still seems very early on Microsoft side but would be nice to know if there any plans to support the new Windows development environment.
