RIP motion API

Question

hello, I discovered that the device motion API and device inclination API do not work anymore, yet a few months ago these APIs worked perfectly, I tried locally to be sure and it did not work either ... Does anyone have any information please?

Answer 1

this is probably caused by a webview update affecting the 'devicemotion' event

try going here and remove (reverts to the system original webview version)

here is a link regarding this in stackoverflow (also a link there for the issue with greater details)

Answer 2

This had happened to me also once with a browser update.
Most probably that time it was just a bug and it was fixed in the next update.
