Asked by:
Please support iframe without X-Frame-Options restriction

General discussion
-
Please give us iframe without X-Frame-Options restriction, or give us WebView component on html/js app. That will be extremely valuable to us.
Iframe in Windows 8 html/js app is not able to open site that has X-Frame-Options. Currently, many sites do this, including Facebook's login/authentication pages, Google, etc. However, this is an app, not a web page. Please allow us to be able to use iframe properly.
This is very important. C# app with WebView do not have this restriction and has an unfair advantage over html/js app.

ps. Before anyone suggest using WebAuthenticationBroker: the WebAuthenticationBroker is not enough. It is good at solving one class of problem. But many of the other services (such as many Facebook's service), cannot be accessed with oauth token alone.

I would suggest you post your request to the Visual Studio -> Windows 8 Apps UserVoice website (link below) to get your idea out there for others to help vote up. I would like this as well.

We've definitely heard this request many times. Nothing we're announcing at this point, but we certainly know this is a pain point to address for HTML/CSS/JS apps. Thanks for adding your voice to that need--we very much appreciate hearing your needs. At present, this is one particular spot where it's necessary to use the WebView in a C#/XAML app to get around frame-busting sites.

Thanks for responding Kraig. We have hit this issue before and have saw this in the forums in a few times. But it seems we are hitting this issue more and more when we are working with 3rd-party services.

Adding to the points mentioned before.
Just by reading facebook.stackoverflow.com for a few minutes, and I have already saw several issues that could potentially be solved or avoided by having iframe without x-frame-options restrictions. (facebook.stackoverflow.com is Facebook's official developer support forum right now).
