[경제]Google Android’webview’ error…More than 7 hours

[앵커]

Yesterday, the Google Android application did not run, causing the smartphone to become jammed one after another.

For more than 7 hours, all frequently used applications such as KakaoTalk and Naver have stopped, but it turned out to be a problem with the Android system app.

All of Google’s Android-based smartphones have stopped working.

When you tap an application such as Naver or KakaoTalk, a notification window appears indicating that the app has been stopped, and nothing stops working.

Because everything stopped, users were confused at the service center because they thought their cell phone device was broken.

As it turned out, the cause was in the Android system application.

An app called’Webview’ that displays web content caused a crash with another app after a recent update.

When Google first recognized this phenomenon around 8 am, users were able to use their smartphones by manually deleting the’Webview’ update as a temporary measure.

After seven more hours, Google notified of the disruption and released an urgently updated version that corrected the error.

Earlier, in December of last year, Google became the first case of being sanctioned under the so-called’Netflix Act’ as services including YouTube stopped working for about an hour.

The Ministry of Science, ICT and ICT includes inspection of facilities for service stability and submission of measures to prevent recurrence.

If a similar problem occurs in the future, Google Korea will quickly notify the disability-related facts and notify the Korean media.

At the time, Google overcame the crisis despite criticism of the punishment of the cotton bat, but repeated procrastination made it again at the center of controversy.
