What are the steps necessary to enable Webview in an android app built using .Net MAUI with Blazor Hybrid?

[crghosh]

The goal of my project is to validate CSS properties of android app elements e.g. text color, font size etc using appium with selenium with java for android app automation. The android app is built using .net maui blazor hybrid framework.

Need to access the Webview of the android app from selenium code. At first I was not able to access the Webview of the app then these lines were added to MainActivity.cs file.

protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
    Android.Webkit.WebView.SetWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true);
}

If start the app from visual studio from debug mode webview is present. However, after getting build from CICD pipeline, webview is not present in the built app.

What steps can be taken to enable webview for the released/built android app? And what steps can be taken for iOS app to achieve the same things?
