I know Google has moved Android System WebView updates to the Play Store, but it looks like updates are not being pushed to android.googlesource.com. For example, vanilla AOSP Lollipop (5.1.1) looks like it builds version 39 of Chromium, while my Nexus 5 (6.0.1) runs 47.0.2526.100. (There is no AOSP marshmallow branch in external/chromium_org.) For non-Play Store builds, is it possible to pull in a newer Chromium version directly from chromium.org (particularly in the interest of security updates)? It looks like there are directions on building system_webview_apk from chromium.org (https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-android-webview), but how can I tell which Chromium release versions are compatible with my AOSP version?
Can anyone provide any insight on whether or not this is feasible? Or do the Android System WebView updates from the Play Store contain additional changes that aren't available from chromium.org? -- -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "android-porting" group.
