We're still trying to work out if we can work around this in the library.

In the mean-time, if you know that you are going to create a WebView in an Activity, you can do the following:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 24) {
        new WebView(this);
    }
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}

alternatively you were able to get it to work by capturing the configuration prior to inflating a webview and restoring it after

    Configuration oldConfig =  getCurrentConfig();
   
    //**inflate webview here**
   
    restoreConfig(oldConfig);
   
   
   
   Configuration getCurrentConfig() {
        return new Configuration(activity.getResources().getConfiguration());
    }

    void restoreConfig(@Nullable Configuration configuration) {
        //if the config isn't null, a webview was inflated and we should update the configuration to
        //the previous one to prevent nightmode from being reset by webview inflation
        if (configuration != null) {
            activity.getResources().updateConfiguration(configuration, null);
        }
    }

#3: That can work, but you don't want to do that on EVERY WebView inflate, only the first. My workaround is #2 is a one-time call.
