Are your Android apps crashing? Here are the Cause and the Solution


1616524859585.png

A large number of Android users over the past few hours have been encountering continuous Gmail and other app shutdowns.
This issue starts with Android throwing up prompts that warn how apps “keep closing.” Applications that are in the background and not currently open are also affected.

If this bug is impacting your device, all Android apps that use the WebvVew system component. which is responsible for showing web content and is updated alongside Chrome every few weeks, will keep crashing. This includes Gmail — which many users are seeing broken right now — and many other third-party applications. Google has acknowledged the email issue and is actively working on a fix. Users are advised to visit the web interface:


“We are aware of an issue with WebView causing some apps on Android to crash. We are currently working to fully validate the scope and a fix is in progress.” – Google spokesperson



Just after 11 p.m. PT on Monday, Google issued a permanent fix for the app crashing issue. It involves updating both Android System WebView and Chrome to version 89.0.4389.105:
  1. Navigate to Play Store app
  2. Search for Android System Webview
  3. Select the “Update” option
  4. Repeat these steps for Google Chrome
