Bug: Java object is gone Instagram/ Facebook Webview

[harshitm1234]

In Instagram/Facebook in-app browser (WebView), our React web app crashes with error:
"Uncaught Error: Java object is gone"

This happens when user loads the page after some seconds the error happen. The error does not occur in Chrome/Safari.

We traced the crash to navigationPerformanceLoggerJavascriptInterface.postMessage

Tested on latest versions of Facebook & Instagram on Android.

Expected: App should not crash on call.
Actual: WebView terminates interaction or throws fatal error.

This is not a bug with React but with the Facebook/Instagram Android in-app browser that you're hitting because of their injected navigationPerformanceLoggerJavascriptInterface object. This doesn't happen in Chrome/Safari because these browsers don't inject that object.
