WebRTC works on android and will be supported by iOS 11, due to be released later in 2017.

Right now the only implementations of webrtc are web browsers so if you want to use webrtc on a server you have to run a browser environment like electron.

Wait, that's not right, is it? There is a native implementation for iOS for example (demoed in this app: https://github.com/ISBX/apprtc-ios)
You're right. What I said didn't make sense. I was just trying to communicate that although webrtc is sold as a peer-to-peer technology that can avoid the use of intermediate servers, there are compelling use cases for client/server communication using webrtc and that requires a server-side webrtc implementation.
There are two webrtc implementations that I know of google's native implementation from chromium and openwebrtc. That project uses google's.
