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 58.0.3029.125, using the GN build tool. To match our build settings, set: 11 12 target_os="android" 13 is_debug=false 14 is_official_build=true 15 is_chrome_branded=false 16 use_official_google_api_keys=false 17 exclude_unwind_tables=true 18 enable_resource_whitelist_generation=true 19 ffmpeg_branding="Chrome" 20 proprietary_codecs=true 21 enable_remoting=true 22 23 in your GN argument file before building. 24 25 ------ 26 27 Due to WebView API changes in the O release, the Java code in the Chromium 28 3029_108 branch is not compatible with O. We'll be working on upstreaming 29 the O-specific Java changes to Chromium once the final O SDK is released. 30 31 ------ 32 33 For questions about building WebView, please see 34 https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!forum/android-webview-dev 35
