I managed to resolve this by replacing the global.WebAssembly object with a
Proxy which intercepts the "compile" and "instantiate" methods. When one of
those methods is called I start a background thread which is polling the
main looper at regular intervals, pumps the message loop and executes a
Hi Darin,
I do embed v8 on android on a regular basis.
Unlike you, I run v8 bound to gl thread, and as a rule of thumb for
performance reasons always on a different than the main thread.
I need to, at least, run `v8::platform::PumpMessageLoop(&platform,
isolate_);` to have promises executed.

Thanks Clemens. I would be very happy if someone more familiar could
provide some insight.
Any pointers in the Google Chrome source code for Android would also be
helpful. I suppose they have already faced this problem and implemented it
properly.

Thanks Clemens.
This works fine but it blocks the main thread. What would be the best
approach to handle this in an Android app? Would writing a custom platform
help in this case?

Hi Darin,
WebAssembly.instantiate works asynchronously, so you have to keep your
program running for a while to wait for the asynchronous result, and keep
pumping the message loop and running microtasks to actually execute the
compilation tasks and promise resolution tasks that get added from the
I have embedded V8 (7.8.279.19) inside my Android application and tried
executing a script that compiles a WebAssembly module.
Unfortunately the promise returned by the "WebAssembly.compile" method is
never completed (neither the "then" or the "catch" methods are invoked).
The same happens with
