Skipping update to androidx.webkit:webkit:1.17.0

Skipping the update to androidx.webkit:webkit:1.17.0 due to an upstream false positive in the newly introduced MissingOnRenderProcessGone lint check.

Details

  • In version 1.17.0, RenderProcessGoneDetector unconditionally flags constructor calls to WebViewClient() via visitConstructor.
  • In Kotlin, subclassing WebViewClient (e.g., class CustomWebClient : WebViewClient()) invokes the supertype constructor, which triggers this false positive even when onRenderProcessGone is properly implemented.
  • The only workaround for 1.17.0 is adding @Suppress("MissingOnRenderProcessGone"), which introduces unnecessary technical debt and could mask legitimate issues in future code.

Resolution & Next Steps

This bug has already been resolved in AOSP: commit aac49b83ba ("webkit: Fix onRenderProcessGone lint check unconditionally failing for Kotlin").

We will wait for the next release (e.g., 1.17.1 or later) that contains this upstream fix.
