We’ve had a flood of recent complaints about our Ionic 5 / Capacitor app not working correctly on the Android device Sony Xperia L3 (running Android 8.1). I finally got hold of one of these devices today and from a factory reset (where the version of Chrome is 70.0.3538.110) our app works fine. But as soon as the app updates Chrome to the latest version (91.0.4472.101) the app behaves very strangely - some weird very glitchy things happen and the app is unusable.
Other devices that are on 91.0.4472.101 are working fine - but this particular device (on Android 8.1) does not.
Has anyone else seen anything similar? And what are the obvious things to look at that might fix the issue?
I’m wondering if it’s related to what I have in the variables.gradle file which is currently:
ext {
minSdkVersion = 21
compileSdkVersion = 30
targetSdkVersion = 29
androidxAppCompatVersion = '1.1.0'
androidxCoreVersion = '1.2.0'
androidxMaterialVersion = '1.1.0-rc02'
androidxBrowserVersion = '1.2.0'
androidxLocalbroadcastmanagerVersion = '1.0.0'
androidxExifInterfaceVersion = '1.2.0'
firebaseMessagingVersion = '20.1.2'
playServicesLocationVersion = '17.0.0'
junitVersion = '4.12'
androidxJunitVersion = '1.1.1'
androidxEspressoCoreVersion = '3.2.0'
cordovaAndroidVersion = '7.0.0'
}
