Description

Our app, which is developed with the use of Visual Studio 2015 Community edition with support of Apache Cordova, stopped responding. It's a rather simple app, that just uses jQuery for simple AJAX calls. We try to debug and noticed that our call is received from web server of the web services but ........returned no answer !! This is happened to android versions 5.1.1 and upper (we've tested it with v 5.1.1 and 6.0.1). Everything are ok with android versions like 4.4 (we've also tested it!)
If we removed the Android System WebView update (end of August, 31nd 2017), our app started to work normally in all versions of Android.
Any idea to resolve such a critical issue ???
