How to download Webview Kiosk to your Android device.
Google's Developer Registration Decree
Google's new developer verification requirements for 2026-2027 will mean the end for side-loading and many alternate stores and projects such as F-Droid and New Pipe.
For more information, please refer to the following sources:
1. Google Play
Automatic Protection Disabled
From v0.17.0, Google Play's automatic protection has been intentionally disabled to allow installations from the Aurora Store (context).
While the app is available on the Google Play Store, we strongly recommend that you install from Obtainium, F-Droid or IzzyOnDroid instead for faster updates, enhanced privacy and a stronger assurance that the APK was built directly from the source code.
1.1. Aurora Store
You can use the Aurora Store, a FOSS client for Google Play that works without needing Google Play Services or MicroG, starting from v0.17.0.
While installation methods with reproducible builds and no involvement from Google is preferred, this method still provides better privacy than using the Google Play Store.
2. GitHub
NOTE
As of v0.15.7,
the package name has changed from com.nktnet.webview_kiosk to uk.nktnet.webviewkiosk
for all installation sources except for the Google Play Store and its derivatives.
Signed APKs are available for download on the GitHub Releases page.
To build the application from source, clone the GitHub repository, open the project in Android Studio and follow the official documentation.
2.1. Obtanium
Obtainium can be used to manage installations and updates of Webview Kiosk on GitHub release page, with the added bonus of notifications when new releases are made available.
2.2. F-Droid
With F-Droid reproducible builds enabled, F-Droid will publish the same APK as the GitHub releases after confirming that it was generated from the same source code.
2.3. IzzyOnDroid
Similar to F-Droid, the IzzyOnDroid reproducible builds criteria is also met.
