Hmm so there is currently no solution for this one? I'm encountering same issue but only in production release (using Android App Bundle)

[sebqq]

Oh, my problem was that I didn't explicitely prepend "https://" to the URL address.

Same here, our users report crashes with Android 10 (amongst devices there's a S9).

Sadly, I can't reproduce it on the emulator and I don't have any physical device.
Does anyone have a clue of what's going on? Maybe an exception trace?

Could it be related with Google stopping using Chrome as the WebView handler in Android 10 and switching back to Android System WebView?

For info, I've tried updating to 10.1.1 without success.

[KyawSoeHein]

is anyone able to workaround this? I am also facing the same issue.

[oailloud]

For me, disabling the hardware acceleration was enough to fix it, see #1069 (comment) if that's acceptable in your case.

[KyawSoeHein]

@oailloud, disabling hardware acceleration does not work in my case.

Same problem with me, it is showing a blank sceen when I load a url, I have android 10, I am using Android Studio.

+1 But except this happens to me on Android Studio + Java. I think it's something to do with the WebView implementation itself ( a guess at best ). The issue appears for only Android 10+ devices and for only the one website I'm trying to access. The website opens on Android 8 devices and other sites (URLs) open on both Android 10 & 8. So I don't know if that's helpful for this thread

I have fixed this issue.. You need to uninstall 'Android System WebView' on your Android 10 device then update it. done
