Java Demo is not rendering the WebView

[EitanSchwartz]

I work for a big content delivery company. Our product heavily relies on rendering content in a WebView. Unfortunately, I cannot make a WebView render in Privacy Sandbox environment. The bug is opened here since the official demo code does not render a WebView either. (Attaching file logs from both App process & SDK process):

It seems there's some contradiction. On one hand:

• This demo code comes, pre-built with a WebView rendering example
• The Privacy Sandbox Developer Preview 1 release notes (April 28, 2022) clearly state: "An SDK can render WebView-based banner ads or content in the SDK Runtime." (Source: https://developer.android.com/design-for-safety/privacy-sandbox/release-notes#p1-features)

On the other hand:

• The demo fails to render the WebView (AS v.: 2021.2.1.Patch1 , Emulator Pixel4, OS Image: TiramisuPrivacySandbox/arm64-v8a)
• Other PrivacySandbox official documentation states: ".. however, the SDK Runtime's rendering protections afforded to typical WebView rendering by SDKs will likely not be possible. This is an active area of investigation." (Source: https://developer.android.com/design-for-safety/privacy-sandbox/sdk-runtime#goals) NoWebView_AppSide.txt NoWebView_SDKSide.txt

I can't understand why this is not working, I would love some feedback/acknowledgement/support or if anyone can make this work for them.

Sorry for the radio silence on this issue for awhile- it is getting looked at. In the meantime, can you try this with the latest Privacy Sandbox image and let me know if it still repros?
