Firebase test lab Android Emulator or Physical device to update WebView version

Issue

Each physical device or emulator in the test lab has webView versions frozen in time.

For example, for Nexus 6 API 24 it's chrome version 58.0.3029.125 which was released in 2017.

Question: is there a way to specify WebView version or opt-in for a latest one?

An alternative is to bump Emulator to API 27 which has chrome version 70.+ which is not ideal

Solution

Test Lab does not allow you to specify a specific version of a package on the devices. We regularly update the device images with the latest packages, but you may see older versions for a period of time.
