WebView on Android Crashes Randomly
See original GitHub issueWebView on Android crashes sometimes in a strange way. The app keeps working normally however the WebView is not loaded and onError does not get called. Is there a way to handle this and reload the WebView.
To Reproduce: I haven’t found a way to reproduce the issue since it happens very randomly but is annoying because you have to restart the app.
Expected behavior: The WebView should keep running normally.
Screenshots/Videos:
Here is the crashlog. onError is not fired either.

A new update…
I found that there is androidHardwareAccelerationDisabled prop in webview that resolved my problem and does not impact the rest of application.
Here, when I have vimeo or youtube video embedded, using androidHardwareAccelerationDisabled={false} crashes sometimes with android 10.
Using androidHardwareAccelerationDisabled={true} not crashes, but vimeo or youtube video not show image, only audio.
My react-native-webview version is 11.2.3
