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.

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?

I use Facebook for work as we have fan pages. I use Facebook pages manager to manage them. I never had Facebook downloaded on the z5(work phone). I received a notice in play store that pages manager had an Update available. That's when I started receiving the 505 error code when trying to update the pages manager. Then I uninstalled the pages manager and tried to reinstall and now it won't install at all keeps giving me the 505 code. I read online where they say to remove the Google account and then add the Google account back,clear cache and data etc.... and if that doesn't work of course reset your phone. I'm not going to reset my phone because I will lose too many important chats with in different applications on the phone.
Is anybody else seeing this issue?
Update: the only apps that won't update are Facebook,f.b.pages manager,and now f.b.messenger....I'm not a Facebook fan,but need them for work.
This is an unlocked phone bought from Sony in Thailand. Model E6653, build# 32.3.A.0.376

if you are rooted and have sony ric disabled then install playstore again using lucky patched, but first go to settings apps find google play store and wipe everything from that app.
EDIT : Best thing is to use titanium backup(you have to be rooted) and backup every app that you have important chats on, and then do full wipe(excluding /system).

Is the problem only with page manager or with other apps, if only page manager simply download page manager apk from apkmirror and install it and that's it.
Only Facebook apps are effected.
I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to installing apk,roots etc...

Apkmirror is source of official apks so it is same thing like if you download from playstore.
So I need to download from unknown sources? Check that option in security section?

Ignore it, i use apkmirror for years and never had any problems with any apk.
It downloaded,but I can't locate it. It's not in my app drawer or on any home screen.....
I went to my down load section,and tried to click it,but it says can not because it conflicts with existing package. So I know it's in the phone,but how do I access it...?.....
File Commander or any other file manager and locate Downloads folder and there it is.
When I try to download
Here is the screen shot

I did. I deleted any file that had the word Facebook in it from file manager too. I even went into Google play store under all apps and deleted it from there also.
It's so strange how it only FB,FB messenger,and the page manager
Well this is a bug. I experienced this problem after upgrading to Nougat from Marshmallow using flashtool. Sideloading (apk) won't work. Do a factory reset, that's the only fix.
It's just too much trouble factory resetting. I'll just have to use my other device.
Thanks guys.
you have to do a clean install not update..
Hey guys,
If this is a duplicate please let me know, but I personally didn't find any information here before I tried a few methods to make these work.
Make Gmail Work
Convert the following apps to system apps:
Gmail
Google Play Services
Google Services Framework
Make Google Contacts Work
Disable Amazon's default contact app.
Install Google Contacts and convert it to system apps.
Download Google Contacts Sync (remember to download version 5.x for api level 22), install, and make it system.
Wipe app cache / data if needed.
Both apps mostly works, Gmail still crashes occasionally, but WAY better than before and is now usable. Edit: Gmail failed after rebooting and did not work again after that short, sweet, few minutes of working... But Contacts work pretty well.
Going through logs, looks like it's Amazon's download manager causing the crash. If anyone knows where to find a replaceable download manager let me know! Google's only supports 7.1 and up.
Good catch! Have you tried apkmirror? What's the namw of the Google's downloadmanager? I have older lg tablet(android 5.1.1) , maybe that one will work.
Nevemind, I've found it and extracted. Let me just find some file host.

Your Google Downloader doesn't work. Couldn't get the apk to install, even if I put it in the system folder manually.
Anyway, in the process I accidentally deleted the .odex file for the original download manager. If you or someone else could provide me theirs so I can fix this, I would really appreciate it. Can't download anything on the play store or amazon app store now.

I've been running contacts for a few days now, converting to system and wiping cache isn't necessary, in my experience. I can't get gmail working stable for the life of me though. I read some discussions that said the reason why it fails is because it has a permission to auto download without a prompt (for attachments) and that Fire OS has a problem with that. I've tried running older versions of gmail, and I've rebuilt gmail with the download activity removed, tried converting gmail to system and to priv-app. No luck.
I got gmail working. It's a user app and I used appsettings module v1.15 for xposed to set orientation to force autorotate. I don't know why it worked, but it's survived many reboots now. I have all the google services installed and the Amazon email app is installed but I'm deep hibernation via rom toolbox. Hope this helps

I tried to show the picture and it didn't crash. I tried the force autorotate method but failed for a few times. Then I chose not to show the picture automatically (&force autorotate) and it worked, at least for now.

Here's my experience: an embedded image is fine, an image as an attachment will crash it. i messed with this for a while, couldn't get it to work, and went back to 9folders email. It makes sense, since from what I read, the reason it crashes is because it doesn't get permissions to download attachments (because of a signature problem between gmail and download manager). I think someone already tried to replace the download manager with a google signed one and the result was a bootloop. I wonder if there is any way to give gmail root rights, so that it gets all of the permissions. Or to sign gmail with the same signature as our download manager.
Hello, I just got my device today.. set it up and disabled ads and everything but there is this issue where when I search something on the Google app and shows a play store suggestion, if I click that, the phone asks "Open with" but with no app options. This issue is not only for the Google app, but every other app as well. If any other app has a button that is supposed to open Play store, the same problem appears. I'll attach a link to the video to show a sample of the problem.

Well it looks like you uninstalled something which was necessary for the system to function smoothly. More like a backend service. Flash MIUI again and only remove the app based services like Analytics, don't tamper with the system apps...
I do not have the device rooted but I did uninstall some apps which I could uninstall directly. So I tried installing the latest MIUI from updater but that didn't work for me. Do you mean to say I should factory reset the device and check? Because in too lazy to set up the device again?

No No don't factory reset, just do a dirty flash, i.e flash your current MIUI again through the MiFlash tool (Don't flash older versions nor you will end up with a bootloop), that should install the necessary apps again.
No actually its a bug in miui 10.3.12 which is already reported to xiaomi

Thanks for your suggestion. I took some time and performed a factory reset from recovery and after setting up the device, I looked if the issue was still there. Fortunately, it showed two options for me : "Complete action using : GetApps or Play Store." So I chose play Store as default now. To be honest, I still don't know what actually caused the problem. I hadn't uninstalled any system app nor the GetApps app. However the issue is now fixed for me. Thanks for your time and help.?

What really happened was, I had set Play Store as default over GetApps last time I reset it. So the links were automatically opening in play store. 2 days ago, I cleared the data of Play Store because I wanted the new material design of Play Store. Unfortunately, I did not get that and when I had cleared the data, as usual, the defaults I set for play store were cleared too. But if the defaults were cleared, it should have given me the options again. But it isn't.
EDIT: I found out that this bug is common for all Redmi Note 7 Pro devices running MIUI 10.3.12 Global. I tested one of my relative's N7P to see if the bug was there and it was! If you guys are not finding the bug, try clearing Play Store's app data and try again. I'm sure you guys will find the bug.

PLEASE HELP! I cannot install the first Google Play Services app downloaded from the link after I uninstalled existing Google Play Services app. Installation of Google Play Services always failed because (it says) my device has newer version even after I uninstalled it.
Now my device does not have Google Play Services but I can't install the version downloaded from the link.
My phone suddenly gave me tge play protect cerification error and could not access playstore, youtube, google maps, chrome,... Etc.
However, i tried the googlifier method and i have everything working fine yet the google play services is not updated and thus Android auto does not work and requires me to update Google play services and when i did i got the certification error again.

Had to do it today too, but I skipped all the app activities, just uninstalled the Google Play services, and installed the older one, posted in this thread.
Worked like a charm.
I can open again Google apps without error messages, but Android Auto still does not work, because the fixed installed Google play services is an older version. Any solution for Android Auto?
I have tried a few options out there, however despite un-installing the GPS when I go to install the 1st pkg it returns with a message to say I already have a 'newer' version installed.
I have rebooted the phone to see if that would clear it however nothing.
Force stop GPS & clear Data before uninstall. Afterwards, install the GPS fix from the video link. It should work.
