Android hard crash with blob:// links

Bug description:

Getting a hard crash on Android (see log below) when the webview tries to open a blob link.

In addition, the onShouldStartLoadWithRequest prop is not called which I’m also using to stop blob links from even running.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException Can only download HTTP/HTTPS URIs: blob:https://app.zinspector.com/b20a08ad-41c7-4d93-bd14-2280b9d96d2c 
    DownloadManager.java:614 android.app.DownloadManager$Request.<init>
    RNCWebViewManager.java:199 com.reactnativecommunity.webview.RNCWebViewManager$2.onDownloadStart
    PG:537 sV.a
    PG:25 aHF.handleMessage
    Handler.java:106 android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage
    Looper.java:164 android.os.Looper.loop

    RuntimeInit.java:441 com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run
    ZygoteInit.java:1408 com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main

To Reproduce:

Test the webview with any page that as a blob download.

Expected behavior:

First, it shouldn’t crash with a blob:// link. Secondly, at least onShouldStartLoadWithRequest should be called so we can prevent the link from running.

Environment:

• OS: Android
• OS version: 8.1, 9, 10
• react-native version: 0.61.5
• react-native-webview version: 7.6.0

Please re-open, this is still happening 😦

Although the above is a nice workaround, this is still an issue and can’t be worked around like that all the time (e.g., a google maps viewer). Not looking for a definite solution, but at least a try/catch in the native code would be awesome.
