StageWebView problem opening Google Play

[Lars Laborious]

Hi all,

I've just noticed that my recent Android apps can't open Google play links from within a stageWebView. This works fine prior to Adobe AIR SDK "android_23.0.0.221", but later AIR versions throws a "Your browser is no longer supported" error. I've tried lowering the android:targetSdkVersion and android:minSdkVersion, but no luck.

Also, both regular "a href" links and window.open() gives the same error.

Anyone knows a workaround?

Found a workaround. I check the url with the LocationChangeEvent and if it contains "play.google" I open it via navigateToURL instead.

Also it probably had nothing to do with the AIR versions. So, nothing to see here!

Thanks for reporting back. It does show an issue though, in that the browser used by StageWebView isn't modern enough to cope with Google Play's pages. It had never occurred to me to send people to Google Play in StageWebView, so I can't checked the problem in my own apps.
