My app uses a webview to load a forum. An older Chromium version prevents the website from displaying. Accessing any Google services in China is impossible. Therefore, upgrading Chromium is not an option. Is there any way to resolve this issue?
AI-generated summary
wangya123 reports that their app, which uses a WebView to load a forum, fails to display web pages when running on Chromium versions lower than v119. Due to restrictions on accessing Google services in China, upgrading the Chromium engine is not a viable solution for them. They reference a discussion about dropping support for iOS 15 and other old browsers in July 2025.
NateDhaliwal suggests looking at solutions for older browsers, specifically quoting a recommendation to use third-party Chromium forks like Supermium or Thorium for users unable to update their main browsers. However, wangya123 clarifies that they are developing an app rather than using a PC, meaning these desktop-specific forks are not applicable.
Finally, Falco advises that the only resolution is to update the phone’s operating system to a newer version that supports a compatible Chromium engine.
Hi there, perhaps you could try out some suggestions in that topic? For example:
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the reply. I am using the app, not the PC, and it seems I cannot use Supermium or Thorium.
This means you need to update you phone OS version to a newer one.
