I have a website which should supposedly only using WebView in my app, otherwise my website redirects the user to a page from where he can download my App.

So, how can I change this UA in WebView?

Also, what are the possible issues which can arise from this?

You can use setUserAgent from android.webkit.WebSettings, simple example:

WebView myWebView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.myWebView);

WebSettings myWebSettings = myWebView.getSettings();
myWebSettings.setUserAgentString("Foo/Bar"); # Set your custom user-agent

Depends on what you did, userAgent is not "perfect", but was created for this purpose, identify the browser.
