What is Reddit's opinion of Alibaba.com B2B Trade App?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

More info: Alibaba B2B app defines a WeexPageActivity activity that can handle http/https links. However, this activity is exported=false. If the user has this app installed, and you start a Uri with an HTTP link inside, your own app will crash with a SecurityException.

The intent system is nice, but it is only as nice as the people who use it. I can't wait for the day it gets fixed, the way content:// Uris are slowly fixing the wholefile:// Uris debacle?

TL;DR: The only way to work around this is to wrap all startActivitycalls with an HTTP link intent with a try-catch for all exceptions. This is in general a good strategy for all intents. The Alibaba app developers are working on a fix.

Edit: Ran into this post by commonsware. Gives better context on the issue.

I'm seeing a strange crash come through.

By any chance did you sideload Google Play Services or Chrome?

Do you have this app installed?

For anyone with the same issue. This app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alibaba.intl.android.apps.poseidon

Is intercepting Chrome Custom Tab links. Either remove that app or disable CCT in sync.

Do you have this app installed by any chance?
