React-native-webview: Rendering multiple Webviews with injected JS causes a crash on Android

[emeraldsanto]

Bug description:
My app loads data from an API that is shared with the web version of our app which is why I am using webviews to directly render the HTML contents. Each paragraph of an article has its own webview as I need to render ad banners between them. Sometimes the webviews will load correctly and the app will only crash once I try to go back to the previous screen (using React Navigation) and at other times it will crash before even showing the webviews on screen.

To Reproduce:
Load enough embedded tweets with the Twitter JS script inside webviews. I will try to post a Snack later.

Expected behavior:
Page loads correctly at all times, without crashing.

[paranoiagu]

i have the same problem.

[emeraldsanto]

After a little more digging, I have found a solution (or at least a workaround ?). Turns out there is this hardwareAccelerationDisabledAndroid prop which is a boolean. I tried setting it to true and it seems to have fixed the problem for now!

<Webview
    hardwareAccelerationDisabledAndroid={true}
    ... />
