No Webview implementation available (Android 9)

[codevalley]

This is my first time adding Open Gapps to my AOSP codebase.
I have made changes to device.mk.
I have tried different combinations in terms of build variants (pico to stock), different exclusion, force rules, but irrespective of what I try I get this error.

WebViewFactory: Chromium WebView package does not exist
WebViewFactory: android.webkit.WebViewFactory$MissingWebViewPackageException: Failed to load WebView provider: No WebView installed

This basically stalls, the Out of the box setup experience (or pretty much any screen that requires Google account creation/fetching, as it uses a webview).
In the developer options, Webview Implementation is none. It does not show any options either.

I am building my AOSP for Pixel 2(Walleye).

Things are working fine on pico variant. But when I use a larger variant like stock (which replaces AOSP webview) things are breaking.

Hi,
I encountered the same issue as your, but my device is pixel3. The webview is lost when choose stock.

With the integration of:

• fd0c140
• 55ed81d
• 85625c1

The problem should be fixed, please verify and close this if you can confirm.

The above commits did not fix the issue. Still getting missing webview issue on building stock.
This are the logs.
Built for Pixel 2 (walleye) Android 9.0
