adb pull /sdcard/video.mp4

Note: Please place the files in a folder, upload it to google drive and share the folder to android-bugreport@google.com, then share the link here.

This issue is not related with Android Q. The crashes are on Android 5+

I am experiencing the same issue (Webview inflation exception caused by Resources.NotFoundException for string ID 0x2040002) in the field on 5.x devices after publishing an app update that was upgraded to AppCompat 1.1.0 from 1.0.2.

To proceed further please attach your project, apk, bug report and video.
Note: Please place the files in a folder, upload it to google drive and share the folder to android-bugreport@google.com, then share the link here.

Sample project attached. It is absolutely trivial: just a WebView in the layout.
It crashes every time on any emulator with API 21 or 22.
Downgrading AppCompat to 1.1.0-rc01 resolves the issue, so this is a regression.

I got a method to fix this issue, you need create a WebView in Application onCreate() method, and then all assets which WebView needed will be loaded
"ApkAssets{path=/product/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk}"
"ApkAssets{path=/product/app/TrichromeLibrary/TrichromeLibrary.apk}"
