Since Android 7, Chrome has taken over the function of `WebView implementation`. `WebView Android Service` is still installed but kept inactive and will automatically get activated when you uninstall or disable Chrome. ---

I see that the name of the topic is changed! OK. With @domhnallohanlon we have a discussion on the topic of the web viewer. Unfortunately, it fails to recreate the crash that we have been discussing for a long time, that this component causes for Android 9 and higher versions. I am attaching a link to a project and I will ask everyone to take a test and share the result.

I ran the test project and yes it should fail because the `Web Viewer` visible is set to FALSE. When I switch it to TRUE it works. ---

This article explains all the anomalies. I have correctly oriented myself to remove the web viewer from my project. ---
