Google's release of version 117 of the Android Webview has introduced changes to the History API that affect Capacitor applications using custom schemes, potentially causing them to hang during loading due to routing issues. Capacitor applications using the default http or https schemes remain unaffected, but those employing custom schemes should verify compatibility with Webview 117. Affected developers are advised to update their androidScheme to https, though this change would render stored data like cookies and local storage inaccessible, akin to a domain change. Alternatively, a hash-based routing strategy can be employed temporarily, although it is not recommended for long-term use. These updates are essential to maintain application reliability and performance, and developers are encouraged to reach out for support if needed.
