Summary:
We have been experiencing the below crashes in our Flipkart Android app:

Stack overflow thread for the issue that is causing this crash: [https://stackoverflow.com/a/56246743](https://stackoverflow.com/a/56246743)

The change I have done is an enhancement on the following PR which got merged to master: [#24533

The exception handling for this crash already exists but it relies on having a specific string in the error message ("Webview not installed"). But the error message for the crashes above does not include this string.

I have added a check for all the crashes involving the `MissingWebViewPackageException`.
Refer the file: [https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/java/android/webkit/WebViewFactory.java#102](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/java/android/webkit/WebViewFactory.java#102)

## Changelog

[ANDROID] [Fixed] - The ReactCookieJarContainer/ForwardingCookieHandler now handles all the cases of missing WebView exceptions gracefully.
Pull Request resolved: #26189

Test Plan:
No new tests have been added.
CI should pass.

This fix was made based on the exception stacktrace. I have not spent the time to acquire one of the devices that it is happening on.
