question: it is unclear how to get Webview version

After pasting your code in in javascript file, I do 'cordova build android' and it shows nothing. how can i use it simple to alert the webview version?

feature: automatically detect WebView implementation on Android 7+

On Android 7+, the user can change the WebView implementation. From the Android 7.0 for Developers page:

You can choose your WebView provider by enabling Developer Options and selecting WebView implementation. You can use any compatible Chrome version (Dev, Beta or Stable) that is installed on your device or the standalone Webview APK to act as the WebView implementation.

This plugin could be more useful if it could detect that the user selected a different implementation, and open the play store for that implementation.

We need this because our users are hitting the Chrome 53/54 Certificate Transparency bug. We want to help these users update, but we don't know if we should open the store to the Android System WebView page (com.google.android.webview) or the Chrome page (com.android.chrome).

There's already an Apache-licensed implementation for this in the ct_workaround project.

How to replace webview on pre 7.0 devices

Isn't there a way to replace the webview package called by Cordova? That way the Android System WebView that exists on Play Store can be used or called by Cordova.... Its really frustrating to have come to such a stupid crossroad after spending months to develop a cordova app only to realize it doesn't work on pre 7.0 android devices.

Incorrect version published

The 1.0.0 (latest as of this issue) is released with the wrong version in the plugin.xml file:

<plugin xmlns="http://apache.org/cordova/ns/plugins/1.0" id="cordova-plugin-webview-checker" version="0.9.2">

This throws an error, at least using cordova-android 7.1.1.

To fix, simply release a 1.0.1 version where the versions match in package.json and plugin.xml.
