Hello;

Thank you for the time and attempts at assisting with this Issue. Have a wonderful weekend!

Kindest regards,

parr5henry@ -- Thanks for the report. Please follow the below steps for WebView --

In Android N the WebView and Chrome packages were combined in order to reduce the update size for users. Updating Chrome also updates WebView. This means that in the Play store the WebView package will appear to be permanently disabled. The Play store WebView entry is only relevant for users with older operating systems, and users who have decided to disable Chrome.

If you need, or are being asked by an application, to update WebView, the action you should take now is to UPDATE CHROME. This should resolve any issues you are currently experiencing.

We would also like to understand what led you to file this bug so that we can reduce the number of users experiencing this issue and work with application developers to direct users to the correct Play store page.

If an application has directed you to update WebView, and sent you to the WebView page in the Play store to do so, please comment on this bug to tell us which application did so.

Finally, if updating Chrome does not stop the application from redirecting you to the Play store, please also provide that information on this bug.

Thanks!!

Duping into original bug (  Issue 697382  ).

Thanks!!

parr5henry@,

As we replied last time, you don't need to enable WebView as We disabled it intentionally. Instead, if you have Chrome installed on your device, it will provide exactly the same functionality to Android WebView for you. If you want to update it, you need to update Chrome.

It seems you are interested being a beta user of Android WebView, here is a doc you could follow, https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/developers/androidwebview/android-webview-beta.

Thanks.
