Environment

Android 11. OnePlus 8T. It repros even after restarting the phone.

I couldnā€™t repro on my wifeā€™s Pixel 4A, both using the latest version of Chrome and System WebView.

This looks related to the recent Android System WebView issues (not Dynalistā€™s fault). I tried clearing Chrome/WebView cache and storage but that didnā€™t work, but clearing the Google Play Store storage/cache fixed the issue! So this can be marked as closed.

Hereā€™s the article that mentioned clearing Google Play Store storage fixes the problem: https://www.tomsguide.com/news/gmail-chrome-and-other-android-apps-are-crashing-how-to-fix-it-now

This just started happening to me again, not sure whatā€™s causing it. The methods mentioned above didnā€™t resolve the issue this time, unfortunately.

Iā€™m surprised it can crash the browserā€¦ Iā€™d bet itā€™s because Google screwed up another webview update :sweat_smile:
