"PG" class throwing java.lang.AbstractMethodError

Question

All of a sudden on Fabric I started getting a crash report with the below stack trace:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.AbstractMethodError: abstract method "void Hv.a(java.lang.String, java.io.FileDescriptor, java.io.PrintWriter, java.lang.String[])"

The only thing I know is that this happens when the user in fragment that contains a WebView. The last release has been there for 2 months without a single problem and this suddenly pops up. I couldn't find any information on Google when investigating this and was hoping if anyone here has seen this before.

Answer 1

There is the issue we created https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1003687&can=2&q=Android%20webview Hope it will help.

That crash produces by System WebView (version 77.0.3865.73). So it's affecting only users who has System WebView instead of Chrome WebView.

PS idk why moderator deleted my previous answer. That definitely didn't help
