I have a problem with my cordova app after the latest Android System WebView update (44.0.2403.39) on Android 5.x devices. I would like to update the replicate the problem on the S

Solution 1:

Did you try the M preview SDK? It contains WebView 44.

And while we are here, some more background:

  • WebView in Android AOSP (which comes with the SDK) and WebView in Android GMS (Google-branded devices) are different packages, and the OS is wired to use the corresponding package. Thus, even though it's possible to install these apks criss-cross on a different OS flavour, they will not work there.

  • WebView is updated via Play Store, which only exists on GMS devices, not on the emulator. So the AOSP version can only be updated manually.

  • But besides these package name differences, both WebView AOSP and WebView GMS are essentially the same.

  • You can even build WebView AOSP yourself. Although, this will require a beefy Linux machine to pull out.
