Emulator doesn't seem to load external webpages #326

Closed hjhart closed 6 months ago

hjhart commented 6 months ago

A note: This does seem to work on physical devices. This used to work on emulators, I'm fairly certain. I tried running a bisect on previous commits but ran into various android studio / gradle compatibility issues. Before I dig too much deeper, I'm curious if others see this behavior.

Problem: When opening external links in chrome, the web page doesn't render properly. I can see the title render, but the page remains white. See the video below.

Expected: The web page should load successfully.

Method: Start the demo app (HEAD of main) inside of Android Studio and click on "Follow an external link".

What version of Chrome is installed on the emulator? My guess is it's an old version installed by default that doesn't support newer javascript APIs. I'd make sure you're using a Play Store emulator variant and you should be able to update Chrome if it's outdated.

Okay, got it working after using a Pixel 8 play store variant instead of a Pixel 3a. Thanks for the advice @jayohms !
