    ismdcf Thanks for the information. I'll pass it along to the team. While we'll try to maintain compatibility when possible, unfortunately we can't officially promise support in the future. If you are able to update the browser engine used by the web view over time, I recommend doing so.

Thanks Greg-DB for the reply :) 

 

Like I have mentioned in the post, the android device our application runs on does not have a system browser or google chrome. Thus webview is the only option I have. Once we get the token we encrypt it and store it on the shared pref so that the does'nt need to sign in again.
