Is it possible/straightforward to have a webserver baked in to an iOS app?
Right now I'm using https://github.com/envoy/Embassy. There's also https://github.com/envoy/Ambassador if you want an "HTTP Framework". These are more lightweight, but they might not be feature complete.
What are some alternatives?
