First post on DEV and it's kind of a cry for help. Can anyone help me pick apart this SO question? It seems that we (and others) have instances where a dependency on Chrome for web views (mostly from 3rd party plugins) cause the app to be killed when Chrome updates. Yet I can find next to nothing about this process or how to potentially mitagate it. Can anyone help?</p> <div class="ltag__stackexchange--container"> <div class="ltag__stackexchange--title-container"> <div class="ltag__stackexchange--title"> <h1> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--pTF_nE4a--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://practicaldev-herokuapp-com.freetls.fastly.net/assets/stackoverflow-logo-b42691ae545e4810b105ee957979a853a696085e67e43ee14c5699cf3e890fb4.svg" alt=""> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52553558/how-can-i-stop-chrome-background-updates-killing-my-app" rel="noopener noreferrer"> How can I stop Chrome background updates killing my app? </a> </h1> <div class="ltag__stackexchange--post-metadata"> <span>Sep 28 '18</span> <span>Comments: 4</span> <span>Answers: 1</span> </div> </div> <a class="ltag__stackexchange--score-container" href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52553558/how-can-i-stop-chrome-background-updates-killing-my-app" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--5MiFESHx--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://practicaldev-herokuapp-com.freetls.fastly.net/assets/stackexchange-arrow-up-eff2e2849e67d156181d258e38802c0b57fa011f74164a7f97675ca3b6ab756b.svg" alt=""> <div class="ltag__stackexchange--score-number"> 8 </div> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--Rk_a5QFN--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://practicaldev-herokuapp-com.freetls.fastly.net/assets/stackexchange-arrow-down-4349fac0dd932d284fab7e4dd9846f19a3710558efde0d2dfd05897f3eeb9aba.svg" alt=""> </a> </div> <div class="ltag__stackexchange--body"> <p><strong>Updated Post</strong></p> <p><strong><em>The Problem</em></strong></p> <p>We have various logs indicating that a background update to Chrome is killing our app, which uses webviews.
