WebView showing ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED although site is HTTPS
When you call "https://darkorbit.com/" your server figures that it's missing "www" so it redirects the call to "http://www.darkorbit.com/" and then to "https://www.darkorbit.com/", your WebView call is blocked at the first redirection as it's a "http" call. You can call "https://www.darkorbit.com/" instead and it will solve the issue.
Solution:
Add the below line in your application
tag:
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
As shown below:
<application
....
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
....>
UPDATE: If you have network security config such as: android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"
No Need to set clear text traffic to true as shown above, instead use the below code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
....
....
</domain-config>
<base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="false"/>
</network-security-config>
Set the cleartextTrafficPermitted
to true
