Webview: Mobile App crash without WebView #3592

Debloating my phone with the debloater app it removed WebView. Now NotesNook crashes with an error, No Webview Provider Installed. I thought Standard Notes used the closed-source webview but Notesnook doesn't. It seems to use the closed-sourced WebView after all.

Device information: App version: 2.6.7-0aac29c-desktop OS: Linux 64-bit Browser: Electron 25.8.1 Pro: true

Notesnook uses the system's default web view whatever that may be. You can set the default web view using developer options.

It could be that the custom web view cannot be used by Notesnook in which case the issue lies with the custom web view implementation and not Notesnook, since Notesnook works without issues with the default web view that comes with Android.

Secondly, web view is required by Notesnook for the editor to work.
