Xamarin.Forms: WebView support on Android 5.1

269 views Asked by At

I've developed a Xamarin.Forms.Shell app where I use a WebView to manage appointments.

By default, I let the Android minimum Version to 5.0, as I still have an old device on Android 5.1 that I use for tests.

I can deploy the app on my device through Visual Studio, but the app is no launched automatically. I can launch the app handly, but the app crashes just after the splashscreen has been displayed, and I don't see any traces on AppCenter, whereas Diagnostics and Analytics are well activated.

In the same time, I can install the app through AppCenter Distribution: in this case, I can launch and use the app. But when I open the page containing the WebView: nothing happens, I get an empty page...

As I can't debug this, I would like to know if there is an explanation related to the WebView and Android version 5.x? As this version is no very longer present on the market, I will probably update Android minimum Version to 6.0.
