Is anyone is working on this? It doesn't sound like a trivial task. I don't think we are able to finish this before M55. Should this really be a blocker of 389343?

Issue 651273 has been merged into this issue.

For the record, here's some repro steps:

- go to a WebVR site such as https://webvr.info/samples/03-vr-presentation.html

- ⋮ menu -> Add to Home screen

- exit Chrome

- Click the site's icon

Expected behavior: WebVR APIs available, putting device in Daydream View headset starts VR presentation.

Actual behavior: no "Enter VR" button, putting device in Daydream View launches the Daydream home application.

@#9: That is still Chrome, not WebView. WebViews are embedded within native Android apps. It's possible that those steps use CCT or similar ( issue 688611 ).

For context, the steps in comment 9 are applicable to current devices on Android N also. Should that be tracked separately from backwards compatibility?

I filed separate  issue 701040  for the "add to home screen" behavior.

Any update on WebVR support in webview?

As per discussion with Megan, moving these to the feature backlog:
