This PR adds a new event handler to the
WebView
component for Android:onLoadSubResourceError
, which is fired when the package receives SSL errors where the failing URL does not match the top window URL.Currently,
react-native-webview
simply logs these out. But I had a use case where I needed to specifically handle these events. This patch works for my use case, and it seems reasonable other people might want something like this as well.A simpler change might be to change
TopLoadingErrorEvent
to have some value indicating thatfailingUrl !== topWindowUrl
, and just route everything through the existing handler. As a starting proposal, I chose to add a separate handler for this because I figured it was more backwards compatible. Happy to iterate on that if the project prefers a different design.I also added a test case that points to
https://badssl.com/
. If you runyarn android
to see the Example app and tap around, you'll see the logs coming through:Screen.Recording.2025-08-21.at.8.32.48.PM.mov
