Device.getInfo can take up to 1 min on web platform on Chrome 76 on Android

Description of the problem: I opened this issue on chromium : https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=999063 In Chrome 76 on Android, the navigator.getBattery promise can take up to 1 min if the phone is not charging (if you plug your phone, the promise resolve immediately). Code example : https://codesandbox.io/embed/android-chrome-76-battery-issue-mhvdn

The getInfo method on the Device web plugin wait for the battery. I see some solutions:

1. Split the getInfo in 2 methods : getInfo and getBattery.
2. Add a withBattery parameter to the getInfo to have to battery info.
3. Add a timeout on the getInfo method

I prefer the first solution but it’s a breaking change. What’s your opinion about this ?

If you don’t actually need the battery status the temporary solution could be to just override the function, before it is called, like this: if (navigator.getBattery) { navigator.getBattery = function () { return Promise.reject(); }; }
