    Changing from SDK 29 to 30 results in an Access Denied error when viewing a local file with WebView.
    The local files are created dynamically as required, they are not static assets.

    The solution is to call WebView.getSettings().setAllowFileAccess(true); on the Android webview as allowFileAccess is now false by default in SDK 30.

    Does anyone know if this can be set without having to build my own version of QtAndroidWebView ? Even then I am not sure it is straight-forward as the setting may need to be applied after loading.

    Alternately, is there a location where local files can be written that are readable by webView without this setting?
