1 Building the Chromium-based WebView in AOSP is no longer supported. WebView can 2 now be built entirely from the Chromium source code. 3 4 General instructions for building WebView from Chromium: 5 https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-android-webview 6 7 ------ 8 9 The prebuilt libwebviewchromium.so included in these APKs is built from Chromium 10 release tag 44.0.2403.114. To match our build settings, set: 11 12 GYP_DEFINES="OS=android release_unwind_tables=0 buildtype=Official chrome_build_id='2e7c7a0f-c733-4b9a-9c8e-d3cf0938369b'" 13 14 in your environment before running build/gyp_chromium. 15 16 ------ 17 18 Due to WebView API changes in the M release, the Java code in the Chromium 2403 19 branch is not compatible with M. We'll be working on upstreaming the M-specific 20 Java changes to Chromium once the final M SDK is released. 21 22 ------ 23 24 For questions about building WebView, please see 25 https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!forum/android-webview-dev 26
