The problem

Hi, we have noticed that the plaid link SDK seems to be no longer working on Android <= 9. I notice the docs say Android 5 and above is still supported so believe this is a bug.

Environment
Plaid Link React Native 11.8.2
ReactNative Version 0.71.15
Occurs on Android yes
Android OS Version 9.0 (28)
Android Devices/Emulators Pixel 2 API 28 (Emulator)
Occurs on iOS no
Link Session ID 26e5fd66-bbd5-4088-ba25-686bcead7b4a

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Call create/open flow
  2. Screen gets stuck on loading the plaid activity.

Expected Result

Plaid activity to open correctly

Hi @jwoodmansey, this issue is limited to Android 9 emulators. It would not occur on a real Android 9 device as a physical device would have an upgraded Android System WebView package. Apologies for the inconvenience that this causes in automated testing, but we do not intend to fix this as the benefit of using newer web libraries is greater than the cost of not supporting Android 9 emulators for us. Thanks for reporting!

Ah okay. That makes sense, thanks for clarifying!
