Make Threema Web work on Safari for the Android app

Summary

When you use the iOS app you can use Threema Web on Safari. However, when you use the Android app you can't. IMHO that's unintuitive.

There's a reason: Buggy WebRTC data channel implementation.

Thanks for the link. While Apple should definitely fix that, you could use relaying (what you currently do for iOS), or do I miss something?

We can't do it at the moment without protocol work but could perhaps in the future.

I guess a saltyrtc-task-relayed-data-java implementation would be necessary? Still, I think it would be a good idea to support Safari for Android apps.

We have #498 for tracking that.

Is #498 about replacing WebRTC data channels with WebSockets internally?

We had ideas about a hybrid approach. But we can't say much about future developments right now.
