Latest Android system webview (see http://oi58.tinypic.com/30ro6xe.jpg) breaks hybrid sencha touch pgb app (PGB 3.6.3)....
my hybrid app is launching but gets stuck immediately. it has been working like butter for a long time. I searched my android's latest updates and noticed the webview update. smelled bad to me from the start. I uninstalled the update and the app is not working again. this is serious...
any comments would be great.

[update]
I checked and concurred the following:

with version 39 of webview the app works fine

with version 43 of webview (the latest update) the app halts immediately

[update 2]
pgb 3.7 also does noty make a difference...

This is more likely caused by issues with WebView issues HTML5/Javascript support, or a security patch than Sencha Touch/PGB.

Could you try checking your error console on Javascript (either with the Debug option in PGB, or use Chrome on a PC/Mac to inspect devices) to see where did your code get stuck at?
