OMG. That is such a blow. I didn't read anything like that in the WebView documentation. I spent my vacation writing an offline client for Google Reader. Puh. I already paid for a logo etc. Man that sucks ;-(
Any idea how to work around that? I actually don't need it to work in the browser just in the WebView. Would this help to work around the security issue? What kind of issue is that anyway?
