We have encountered an issue when using Android 9 in combination with Chrome 73. When wrapping a WebView within a View styled with overflow: hidden the entire app crashes. I solved it by setting opacity: 0.99 on the WebView, and keep the overflow: hidden style on the wrapper. I found the solution here.

This problem will most likely be more and more common since more and more people are getting Chrome 73 each day.

I hope this issue will be useful to some people that are experiencing the same problem. However, this is not an elegant solution and I would be very happy if someone with more Android knowledge could give it a shot and try to fix the real problem.

Thanks!
