Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing issues with the MappedIn React Native SDK on Android due to the use of version 11 of `react-native-webview`, which seems to no longer be compatible with the latest versions of Android.
I’m using an Expo project and encountered the following issues:
- **With New Architecture** : The build completes successfully, but the app crashes as soon as it tries to display the map WebView.
- **Without New Architecture** : The build fails completely.
I also tried building the MappedIn example repo, but it also fails to build correctly.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a solution? One possible fix could be upgrading the `react-native-webview` version, but I haven’t found a working workaround so far.
Thanks for your help!

Which version of Android and device are you seeing this on? I did some testing with the [SDK v5 Examples](https://github.com/MappedIn/react-native/tree/master/SDKv5_Examples/PlaygroundSamples) on Android 15 and didn’t run into any crashes.

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me! I did some more testing and noticed that your sample app uses a fairly outdated version of React Native. After further investigation, I managed to build my app correctly using SDK v5, but I had to make the following changes:
1. **Disabled the New Architecture** of React Native to avoid crashes and build failures.
2. **Upgraded react-native-webview** to version ^11 (installed 11.22.7) and not ‘11’ as mentioned in your official documentation. This fixed the WebView crash I was experiencing.
For now, everything seems to be working fine with these adjustments. However, I’d like to ask if there are any plans to:
1. **Update support for more recent versions** of react-native-webview (e.g., 13.x.x).
2. Make your SDK **compatible with the New Architecture** of React Native.
Thanks again for your help, and I appreciate any insights you can share on this!

Thanks for the update, glad to hear you have it working. We are planning to upgrade Mappedin SDK for React-Native to version 6, which should include all of the points you mention. We’re aiming to release it in the first half of this year.

Thanks for the update, I look forward to trying version 6 as soon as it’s available. I’ll keep an eye out for any releases!
Thanks again for your support!
