### Description
This statement
> "Install Google Chrome from the Google Play Store. If Google Chrome is already installed, [update Chrome from the Google Play Store](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95414?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid). If an emulated device doesn't have the latest version of Chrome installed, it might not have the latest version of the Android Web View installed."
is incorrect. Google Chrome and WebView are totally separate apps. Updating Chrome does nothing to to WebView.
And after going through the motions to add a new device with Play store, (and enabling that with a new Gmail address with SMS and credit card verification 😫) there is no apparent way to view the installed WebView app or update it from the Play Store. Clicking the check for updates on device says everything is up to date..
The way I did get around it was installing the WebView Dev stream which then prompts you to choose the default 'system' for device and I was able to select the newer and NET 9 Maui Blazor finally works. 
Ideally the Android emulator should be updated by default. I know you previously linked to this on a another issue but nothing seems ideal.
