ServiceWorker mgmt seems instable

@kelson42 This crash is related to SDK itself, I had shared this crash with Webkit. But one thing is strange we are currently not supporting Android 14 but in the crash, it shows that there is an error on the Android 14 device. Currently, we are not using the latest webkit dependency that can support Android 14, but we have a ticket for supporting the Android 14. However, we are introducing the zimit 2.0 which does not have the service worker so this implementation will be removed. Also, If we upgrade to the Android 14 then we will definitely upgrade the webkit dependencies that support the Android 14.

why we don't support latest webkit dependency right now?

why we don't support latest webkit dependency right now?

@kelson42 Due to our maximum SDK version. The current maximum SDK version is 33(Android 13), and the latest WebKit version requires a higher gradle version and the higher grade version needs a maximum SDK version of 34.

@MohitMaliFtechiz OK, seems not impacting and straight like you describe it. Please do to fix that bug.

[kelson42]

This is the priority to fix, too many crash reports on the PlayStore console!

@Kelson I have placed a fix for the ServiceWorker initializer code. There was an issue with initializing the serviceWorker into multiple processes that were leading to a crash. Also, improved the initialing of the ServiceWorker. Now ServiceWorker is initialing after the all necessary application setup is completed(So that it can initialize properly). These were the few reasons that could cause the ServicewWorker issue. Since the playStore showed it was SDK related issue(but these two things were creating the initialization issue of ServiceWorker, and probably these are the reason for the playStore crash)
