I recently created an app that allows you to visit a website to which you can upload images. I want to upload pictures to the app but even after trying other solutions given by others, it still won’t work. In the website (opened in Chrome), a pop up appears as shown in the video below. It does not happen in the app that opens the website in a Web Viewer
What is supposed to happen.
What happens instead
My blocks
Thanks!

How should we create a Custom Web view? I got the extension but it is an invisible component.

The difference is that extension components can be distributed on the Web and loaded into App Inventor dynamically: they do not have to be built into the App Inventor system, and they can be imported into projects as needed.

After that you can use extension in block section as shown in the above blocks

Still my app shows a blank screen. Do I need to like do more blocking to make a web view from the extension?
Ok. I’ll try it again and see if it works.
Thanks!

It works but I also wanted to say that I discovered a new problem and that makes all pages look like this. Only half of it is visible and it is a small portion of the screen that wasn’t expected. I used the first solution that @Anu10 had given.
Thanks!
I tried to change the Vertical arrangement that had the Custom Web View in it to a Horizontal one, but no difference.
