I have an E-Store with Wordpress WooCommerce and my store working very well I mean all features like product add, product image gallery images upload, etc everything working very well. I have created an Android Webview Application and everything working good but I am not able to upload files like product images files I cant upload. When I access my website via Application there everything works well only I am not able to upload images or any files. but when I access my website on the browser on mobile everything works well including files or images upload everything works correctly.
