Sample project
Not possible

Describe the bug
Started to use the beatiful webview with @nota for more and more things.
Sadly im currently fighting with crashes reaching firebase:

Fatal Exception: com.tns.NativeScriptException: Cannot find runtime for instance=com.tns.gen.android.webkit.WebViewClient_vendor_27466_23_n@55feedc
       at com.tns.Runtime.callJSMethod(Runtime.java:1172)
       at com.tns.Runtime.callJSMethod(Runtime.java:1153)
       at com.tns.Runtime.callJSMethod(Runtime.java:1149)

       at L7.a(chromium-TrichromeWebViewGoogle.aab-stable-443021033:15)
       at org.chromium.android_webview.AwContentsBackgroundThreadClient.shouldInterceptRequestFromNative(chromium-TrichromeWebViewGoogle.aab-stable-443021033:2)

Looking at the stack, it seems that the android application is crashing cause of a missing java/script reference.

Sadly im not even sure whos responsible for the crash, thats why i created it here. Is the bug in chromium,@nota or in tns-core?

I tried to look deeper into the cause of this problem. Looking at https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/ServiceWorkerClient i saw plenty of changes in SDK 24, so i tried to raise minSDK to 24, which sadly didnt solve the issue.

Also i dont completly understand exactly when and how this "com.tns.gen.android.webkit.WebViewClient_vendor" is generated. Sometimes (at least on my windows machine) theres multiple of this classes in platforms\android\app\src\main\java\com\tns\gen\android\webkit even with different (version=$1? and sdk=$2?) WebViewClient_vendor_$1_$2 parameters.

Anyone can point me in the right direction what could cause this crashes and how to patch them?

anyone? :(

Those crashes are still happening randomly. It is the most frequent crash we can obersve both in the Google Play Console and Crashlytics.

Can anybody provide any insights or clues on how to address the issue?

@jessorlisa this is a gc issue, seems like the java ref is still around but the runtime already removed the instance kept. I believe updating the plugin to keep instances around & proper usage of WeakRef will fix this issue

saschaarthur · Answer 4 · Mon Jul 04 2022 18:19:00 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@triniwiz thanks for the insights. Thats what i guessed as well.

I would have a deeper look. But sadly its unclear for me where to start.. this code seems to be platform/sdk dependend generated code and not "simple" source code, which would be easy to fix.

Any hints where we could start digging deeper?

I also can see quite a high number of crashes in Google Play Console, that look similar to this:

@jessorlisa @felixkrautschuk I think your errors are not related (not directly). I think they both comes from unreleased objects but not the same.
@felixkrautschuk i commented on your error. @jessorlisa i think your error comes from the fact that setWebViewClient is not called with null on disposeNativeView. Is there any chance you can try ?

EDIT: you can try the change i applied in my fork here Akylas/NativeScript@dad92a4. If someone can confirm it fixes it i'll create a PR

@farfromrefug We also see this in our app, but we use the ui-webview module (version 1.3.5). We get the following traceback:

com.tns.NativeScriptException: Cannot find runtime for instance=com.tns.gen.android.webkit.WebViewClient_vendor_2_84540_WebViewExtClientImpl@95626cb

    at org.chromium.android_webview.AwContentsBackgroundThreadClient.shouldInterceptRequestFromNative(chromium-TrichromeWebViewGoogle.aab-stable-511209733:34)

I believe that ui-webview already calls setWebviewClient(null). Do you still think that your fix might also fix our issue? I would try it in a new app release then.

@cdroege not good. is there any chance you can reproduce the bug with N Trace.enable() with all catégories?

Christian Dröge · Answer 9 · Tue Aug 30 2022 01:54:06 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I could not reproduce this problem on my own devices yet. I see that about 2-4% of our Android user base had this problem once in about 2 weeks, so it could take a while until I see this issue myself.

When I look at the breadcrumbs and the other data from Sentry, there is also no obvious condition that triggers this issue. Sometimes the current activity in our app is resumed and the issue is triggered directly, but sometimes this issue also happens during the usage of the webview (a user scrolls down, scrolls then up and after a few seconds interacts with the webview again and the app crashes). It also happens with a lot of different Android versions (9-12).

Osei Fortune · Answer 10 · Tue Aug 30 2022 06:16:45 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

It's a tough one to recreate, but it's usually a gc issue. Proper use of weakrefs for callbacks/listeners can help prevent these kind of issues

jessorlisa · Answer 11 · Thu Sep 15 2022 19:03:59 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@jessorlisa i think your error comes from the fact that setWebViewClient is not called with null on disposeNativeView. Is there any chance you can try ?

@farfromrefug I will try your suggestion immediately and keep you posted!
Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation 🤷🏻‍♀️.

jessorlisa · Answer 12 · Fri Oct 21 2022 14:30:20 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@farfromrefug Unfortunately the error is still occuring, despite the suggested patch (I also patched our version of @nota/nativescript-webview-ext accordingly).

Sorry for my late feedback, Google's review process is taking forever this days.

farfromrefuge · Answer 13 · Fri Oct 21 2022 15:10:17 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

@jessorlisa do you have logs (like logcat) of whats happening before that?
If google does not provide them maybe it would be agood idea to integrate sentry. With it you would have a crash with logs of what happened before the crash (like app closing or in background for example).
Sorry it is a tough one to debug

jessorlisa · Answer 14 · Fri Oct 28 2022 20:43:08 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I am afraid no. I will give it a try and see if I can reproduce it locally. Sentry is not an option right now.

Seen this today for first time. Might be related or the same issue:

Receiving this same error, when uploading a test build to google play it highlights the issue for this specific device on SDK 31... not sure if helps, not sure where to start...
