| Building the Chromium-based WebView in AOSP is no longer supported. WebView can |
| now be built entirely from the Chromium source code. |
| |
| General instructions for building WebView from Chromium: |
| https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-android-webview |
| |
| ------ |
| |
| The prebuilt libwebviewchromium.so included in these APKs is built from Chromium |
| release tag 61.0.3163.98, using the GN build tool. To match our build settings, set: |
| |
| target_os="android" |
| is_debug=false |
| is_official_build=true |
| is_chrome_branded=false |
| use_official_google_api_keys=false |
| exclude_unwind_tables=true |
| enable_resource_whitelist_generation=true |
| ffmpeg_branding="Chrome" |
| proprietary_codecs=true |
| enable_remoting=true |
| |
| in your GN argument file before building. |
| |
| ------ |
| |
| Due to WebView API changes in the O-MR1 release, the Java code in the Chromium |
| 3163 branch is not compatible with O-MR1. We'll be working on upstreaming |
| the O-MR1 specific Java changes to Chromium once the final O-MR1 SDK is released. |
