Plaid's SDK now uses Chrome Custom Tabs (CCT) instead of Android WebViews to secure its Link module. This decision was made to overcome the technical issues associated with WebViews, such as allowing malicious code execution and providing a less-than-ideal user experience due to latency introduced by browser context switching. CCT offers a more secure, sandboxed environment while still being easy to integrate for developers and providing a better user experience than opening browser windows. To address challenges like listening to URL redirects, getting final results, and controlling the CCT process, creative solutions were developed, leveraging Android's built-in features, particularly the intent framework. The use of CCT provides a fast and secure integration solution that is recommended for other apps and SDKs.
