Is Android webview in e/OS 4.2 insecure?

The latest kleinanzeigen.de App does not work anymore on /e/OS 4.2. It closes immediately after opening the app. The older version 2026.35.0 installed with Aurora still works.

I have the same problem and installed version 2026.35.0 again; this version is still working.

Has anybody an idea what’s the problem with the latest version?

No idea, because the only information published tells that the app loading were improved.

Maybe the developers can tell more: androidsupport@kleinanzeigen.de

@msp @FrankSk this isn’t a X or kleinanzeigen thread, but this one is.

I’m wondering whether Aurora store uses webview to display google store content. It seems that since switching to the google webview beta, aurora store no longer displays privacy ratings of apps. I get “Failure to retrieve the privacy statement”. Anyone confirm? Could it potentially be a drawback of using the google webview beta?

EDIT: seems unrelated to the google webview beta as switching back to e/OS webview doesn’t solve the issue. Maybe it is something directly related to Aurora store abd how it try to retrieve the exodus report.

@Manoj should this be added to the e/OS documentation at some point? It would be good to let users know they can use upstream chromium webview even if this is not officially supported.

Thanks a lot - I had trouble with several apps not opening anymore and this workaround has worked for me! Very helpful!
