Let me help you troubleshoot your WebView issue. WebView crashes can happen for several reasons when developing THETA applications. Here are some common causes and solutions:

1. Memory Issues
   From relevant community discussions, WebView crashes often occur due to memory consumption problems. For example, when displaying large 360° images or video previews.

2. Security Configurations
   Make sure you have the proper security configurations set up:

For iOS:
You need to configure your Info.plist to allow connections to the THETA camera (which uses http://192.168.1.1 by default). Here’s an example configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
  <dict>
    <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
    <dict>
      <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
      <false/>
      <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
      <dict>
        <key>192.168.1.1</key>
        <dict>
          <key>NSIncludesSubdomain</key>
          <false/>
          <key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
          <true/>
          <key>NSTemporaryExceptionRequiresForwardSecrecy</key>
          <false/>
        </dict>
      </dict>
    </dict>
  </dict>
</plist>

3. JavaScript Settings
   Ensure JavaScript is enabled in your WebView configuration.

4. Memory Management Best Practices:

• Release resources when the WebView is not in use
• Implement proper lifecycle management
• Consider using lower resolution previews initially

5. CORS Issues
   If you’re accessing external resources, make sure you handle CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) properly.

For a great example of WebView implementation with THETA, check out this recent article on using Marzipano with React Native and WebView.

To better help you, could you provide:

1. What type of content are you trying to display in the WebView?
2. Are you getting any specific error messages?
3. Which THETA model are you using?
4. What platform are you developing for (iOS/Android)?

This will help me provide more specific guidance for your situation.
