Android 5.0.0 running in the emulator does not seem to accept webview updates. That is, Android System Webview installs very well from the Play Store ( link ). However, the browser continues to use the old WebView (according to the user-agent string).
Why update emulation not supported by web browser and how can this be done?
PS The update appears along with WebView Web (both appear in the list of applications). I tried the installation through the Play Store and manually to no avail.
PPS The purpose of this is to verify how my code handles a specific error in a specific version of the web view.
