Hi Thunkers! After running the webviewer and programming a button to hide the webviewer with the component (webviewer visible = false), the application closes unexpectedly. This only happens for Android devices, it happens to me when I run the apk as well as in Thunkable Live. I think it was affected by the recent update of the WebViewer component. I need an urgent solution ☹ ---

This has been there for a while and not related to recent updates. ---

@muneer doesn’t work for Thunkable. (Neither do I.). It’s a bug. All we can do is work around it. I suggest making the height and width 1px. Or positioning it off screen. ---

With the only solution that can give the problem was putting the webviewer in a new screen and when I return to my menu nothing happens. Thanks catsarisky ---

Does this project work for you? (Tap the button to hide/show the webviewer) [Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/610acb108729f000117d7d1d/ab9f6ce7-235d-43ab-8806-3e3796801612/blocks) It works on my Android device. If not, do you have a simple example where it doesn’t work. Thanks ---
