Additional information
Seems even if webview last installed your app uses old outdated that installed in system.
May be its time to drop dependence on webview to trashcan ? Ah easier to drop support another android version than do some good auth method. Really easier and/or fast doesnt mean "best" or even good.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the login failure in the Android webview using the listed Sharp SH-02L, Android 8.1, app 17.20.0 alpha 3, and server versions. Investigate why the login button does nothing and why the Nextcloud root shows only the background, logo, and footer; done means the login form appears and authentication can proceed.
