| 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 44.0.2403.114. To match our build settings, set: |
| |
| GYP_DEFINES="OS=android release_unwind_tables=0 buildtype=Official chrome_build_id='2e7c7a0f-c733-4b9a-9c8e-d3cf0938369b'" |
| |
| in your environment before running build/gyp_chromium. |
| |
| ------ |
| |
| Due to WebView API changes in the M release, the Java code in the Chromium 2403 |
| branch is not compatible with M. We'll be working on upstreaming the M-specific |
| Java changes to Chromium once the final M SDK is released. |
