Different apps cannot have the same package name

Open laurentlbm opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Both Bromite SystemWebView (bromite repo) and Ungoogled System WebView (Ungoogled Chromium repo) use the same package name (com.android.webview) because they both need to have that name to be able to replace the default Android webview.

This causes three bugs:

  1. When searching for "webview", only Bromite's is returned. I assume that duplicates are removed based on the package name.
  2. When trying to view the details of Ungoogled System WebView, it opens up the details for Bromite SystemWebView.
  3. In the list of installed apps, Droid-ify thinks that I have Bromite SystemWebView installed, but actually I use Ungoogled System WebView.

I haven't checked if the same happens with the official F-Droid app, but I know that Aurora Droid doesn't have this issue.
