The Android APP crashes when the system WebView is being updated

Question

The app is used as a launcher, and WebView is used in the app. However, the WebView component of the system is automatically updated, and when the WebView component is updated, the app crashes. Even if the app is not currently using the WebView component, as long as the app uses the WebView component, the app will crash. Is there any way to unload WebView class? Is there any way to avoid this crash?

Answer 1

afaik there is no way for avoiding this crash. at any moment Play Store may start an update and when app gets update then in fact for some seconds it isn't available/installed and will cause crash in apps which are running and using this re-installed component. I'm facing this "architecture bug" for years, never found a solution...
