I have been using an app and making it using the web browser feature and after the most recent chromebook update it will not open any websites and it doesn't work at all.
Show your relevant blocks in your app
What method have you used to install the app on your chromebook, is it on Play Store ? or testing with the companion app ? or sideloaded ?
i use google play store
My app is :
1 button
1 web viewer
I have the web viewer set to go to the url google.com
blocks:
When button click do call webviewer1 .GoToURL url: google.com
However when i open the app it doesn't go to google it just gives me a blank space where the webviewer is supposed to be and it shows button
And show your relevant blocks
the Webviewer requires you to provide either an http:// or https:// at the beginning of the url

oh okay ill try it right now
wow it worked so weird cus before the chromebook update I didn't have to put https:// and it worked fine. Thank you for helping and being so quick to reply lol.
okay now it pulls up websites, however when i go to the websites they don't load and i get a runtime error.
It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your updated relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.
To get an image of your blocks, right click in the Blocks Editor and select "Download Blocks as Image". You might want to use an image editor to crop etc. if required. Then post it here in the community.

I do not have a Chromebook, the blocks look fine though...
so if I understand you correctly, you uploaded a test app into Google Play and installed it from there
then first you said
but then
what exactly means "it pulls up websites"?
and
generally for runtime errors we have the possibility to use logcat to find out what is going on...
however I do not know how to set this up on a Chromebook? this might help:

oh also i am trying to make an app for me and my friends but not upload to google play. by pulls up websites i mean when i go to a website such as instagram.com it just stays on the first loading screen and gives me a runtime error.
yes... well, it looks like in your Chromebook some information is missing... probably a general problem on your side?
that page looks like this normally
taken from there
If you can get it to work, I believe this is the simplest way: https://www.howtogeek.com/358285/how-to-use-adb-and-fastboot-on-a-chromebook/

I will take my chromebook somewhere and try to see if my chromebook has problems, because sometimes when I go to websites it says it is not supported on a mobile device. Thanks for the help, (the adb thing doesn't work with my chromebook) 
I have just sideloaded a simple app to my chromebook - Acer 715
(I also tested with companion app on the chromebook)
Loads any site I have tried without issue
