Webview shows error “Didn’t find class “android.webkit.RenderProcessGoneDetail”

It appears to be a bug, more details here: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/android-webview-dev/m0EtO3IXNn0

On N+ new ART logging appears to have been introduced letting app
developers know about certain binary compatibility problems in their
code. Unfortunately, this is triggering for some of the API-level
guarded code in WebView.

One example is “Failed resolution of:
Landroid/webkit/RenderProcessGoneDetail;”, which is triggered whenever
a recent version of WebView with O features is used on an N device.
This is harmless, but confusing and spammy to developers looking at
logcat.
