Description

when ever the app resumes to foreground it wont update the website, when its closed without setting clear cache it wont update either.

if im displaying news website site and there are new stories, i wont be able to see them until i close the app, thats the case if i set clearCache: true, if its false i will never see the new articles.

so far i couldn't find any workaround, for when user resumes the app to foreground.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the WebView behavior with a news site, resuming the app with clearCache enabled and disabled, and checking the page after new content is available. Done means the website can show updated content after resume without requiring the app to be closed.
