Summary:
When the webview is updated by play store, all apps that has loaded webview gets killed. For background see https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/228611949?pli=1
We have a long-running app and don't want this to happen and while we are not using webview anywhere, we are using websockets that loads it for reading cookies, however we are not using cookies to authenticate the websocket and thus want to disable the webview to avoid loading it unnecessarily and then getting killed unnecessarily.
The webview has support for beeing disabled https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView#disableWebView() however as-is this crashes React Native. It seems to me like this case is very similar to not having web view installed and should be handled in the same way.
