In my phone I do not have GApps (I do not want them), but I need WebView for some applications to work. Unfortunately, I can not install the application.
Can anybody help me? Is there any way to install it successfully?
Are there application APKs alternative to WebView?
Bump, I'm having same issue. Did you ever figure this out? You can get a recent webview apk from many websites. APK Mirror has the Google Android WebView and the LineageOS Android WebView.
BUT - I've tried both and neither show up as a webview provider in my developer settings. Not sure how to fix this.
Hey guys, so when I deleted chrome. Gmail started to force close. I restored it and it worked.
Is there a workaround to have Gmail working without having chrome installed in the Device?
Thanks!
Install Android system webview.

Reinstall google chrome, and then wipe cache and storage on Gmail. Then check apkmirror for newest version of gmail.
set webview as default in developer settings
I am a POCO X3 (Karna) user . i have Rooted it but whenever I play Call Of Duty Mobile my game crashes in between without errors . it happens only when the phone is rooted. I tried everything but it never stops . The only solution I found is to disable Webview but it brings other problems like sticky button press but doesn't crash.
In Android 10 I was able to fix the issue by installing an old Webview (74.xx.xx something) as a system app replacing the stock new webview. But now as I have migrated to Android 11 I can't do that anymore .so how do I install old Webview as a system app in Android 11.

How did you root your phone?

Magisk 23
Pretty much the title, is it somehow possible to downgrade chrome without rooting my S21+? I've disabled the app and uninstalled updates, but I always get an error while trying to install an older APK.
which architecture are you downloading, and why chrome specifically? Use Firefox or some other non chromium browser. If you are gonna download chrome you have to find the architecture of your device and adb install from computer.
In the end I switched to kiwi browser, in my opinion it's the closest one to chrome.

If you want the explanation it's because the chrome browser version that comes preinstalled with your S21+ is newer than the one you're trying to install. So if you ever wanted to retry that, you have to get ride of the preinstalled one and it requires root access (+ a Magisk module because the system partition is read only) .
All of a sudden webview is not detected. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, switch to beta channel, leave beta channel... Nothing
Tried to reinstall Chrome as well.. Didn't help
All apps crash with webview provider missing.
I'm using android 13 and everything worked well until this morning.
I have the exact same issue! On Android 13, everything was working fine and today the majority of my apps keep crashing.
When I open WebView it says that it is not installed.
I wiped the cache, cleared data and uninstalled webview updates but the issue remains. I updated webview and chrome but still nothing.
I wonder what's causing it.

I really hope it's widespread enough for a fix to be issued soon

webview dependent apps such as Gmail crash immediately
Last night, after an update of Android System Webview, webview dependent apps such as Gmail crash immediately. I've gone through the troubleshooting, by uninstalling updates to webview, same with Chrome, disable chrome but the issue persists. Any other suggestions?

Update: I was able to fix it!!
I uninstalled the secure folder, and then uninstalled/reinstalled webview and.. voila!

UPDATE:
I managed to fix it without uninstalling my Secure Folder.
What I did was install Webview inside the Secure Folder via the Play Store as well as inside my Work Profile. As soon as I did that apps stopped crashing.
