Description
Plugin version:
url_launcher: ^6.3.1
Platform version:
Android 15 (API level 34, Developer Preview or Beta)
Issue:
When launching a webpage using url_launcher in LaunchMode.inAppWebView, the bottom part of the web content gets clipped or hidden behind the system gesture navigation bar on Android 15. This causes UI elements like "Accept Cookies" or "Reject" buttons (commonly displayed in sticky footers on websites) to be inaccessible or partially visible.
Steps to reproduce:
Launch a Flutter screen that uses url_launcher to open a webpage in an in-app web view:
Code:
-
launchUrl(
Uri.parse('https://example.com'),
mode: LaunchMode.inAppWebView,
); -
Run the app on a device or emulator running Android 15.
-
Observe that the website renders, but the bottom UI (e.g., cookie banners) is partially hidden under the system gesture bar.
Expected results
The web content should respect system UI insets and padding.
Bottom elements such as cookie banners or sticky buttons should be fully visible and tappable.
Actual results
Web content does not fully respect safe area insets.
Bottom elements are clipped or obstructed by Android's gesture navigation system.
