is there a way of tracking request made by webviews?

[joaquinbian]

Hey! I hope you are doing well!
This library only tracks requests that are made by the app, right? For example, if I develop a web with React and I render it in a webview in my RN app, am I able to see the requests made by that web page?

Hi @joaquinbian, I don't think it will work as it needs to go through the react-native XHRInterceptor which I assume webviews don't. I haven't tried though so can't be 100% sure how webviews are set up.

Ohh I see, I suppose webviews does not go through XHRInterceptor as well.. I tried fetching from the React Native app and I am able to see those request, but no the ones made by the webapp.

Thank you so much!

For webView and debugging Android the best way to debug the network was using the Chrome and going to chrome://inspect. Then there I would open the current page from the device I am using for debugging and check the inspector->network tab. Though there are some cases when this is not applicable.
