Voyager semi broken from outdated webview (lemmy.world)

I got an automatic Voyager update from F-droid and now it complains of an out of date Webview version and tells me to update Webview from the Play store. But I don't use the Play store and don't want to enroll an account there. I get all my apps from F-droid. Is there a fix or workaround from this? thanks. Android 14 on Motorola Stylus 5g 2023 if that matters.

I use Aurora Store installed from F-Droid to update Webview (and install or update any other apps from Play Store.) There's an anonymous login option or you can sign in, though I've never done that.

    Any trouble with or from the web view update itself?

    My apologies, I should have said "I used." I actually very recently discovered a module to replace Google's Webview with Open Webview (rooted device), and it's worked nicely so I likely will not see that particular update. Sorry!

    Well I can probably get the Google APK one way or another. I'm just slightly afraid to install it.

    Open Webview (rooted device)

    That one always fails for me to download the webviews. Guess i'll have to look at the script, since Aurora has no webview update in queue.

    You have to pull down to refresh on the 'Updates' page in Aurora for it to check for updates (or I have to, anyway.)

    Also, if it helps, I installed Open Webview via a Magisk module installed through the IzzyOnDroid Magisk repo in the MMRL app (from F-Droid.)
