I'm trying to build and run an Android application that uses androidx.webkit.ProxyController class. After initializing a ProxyController using ProxyController.getInstance(), at some point it tries to load dynamically org.chromium.support_lib_glue.SupportLibReflectionUtil class using some kind of reflection in WebViewGlueCommunicator.java (https://programtalk.com/vs4/java/androidx/androidx/webkit/webkit/src/main/java/androidx/webkit/internal/WebViewGlueCommunicator.java/) under the fetchGlueProviderFactoryImpl function. The class is not found and a ClassNotFoundException is thrown which leads to initialization of IncompatibleApkWebViewProviderFactory which consequently later crashes the application with UnsupportedOperationException (with "Proxy override not supported" message).
Can you please advice why is the org.chromium.support_lib_glue package is missing and how this can be resolved? There is not much info available online.
I will also note that I am able to use the androidx.webkit with other features which are not proxy related so the androidx.webkit library is imported correctly. The android API I am using is 33 which should be fine.
I tried create a dummy shell class for SupportLibReflectionUtil under a dummy package org.chromium.support_lib_glue I created and included it under the project. This class was loaded dynamically successfully but off-course this is not a real solution.
