I'm on One UI 6 beta (F946U1UEU1ZWJ8 / F946U1OYM1ZWJ8 / F946U1UEU1ZWJ8)

I'm trying to setup Secure Folder for work. I have finger print enabled and am able to add apps in it. But when I try to add a new Google account, it just crashes. I get the Checking Info loading screen and then it just exits without any error message or info. Is this a known issue? Is a fix coming soon?

I have an update on this:

After installing Gmail in Secure Folder and trying to start it several times there was a message that said WebView kept crashing and asking if I wanted to revert to the factory version of WebView instead.

I did that and after that everything seems to work.

I can now add a google account.

Do the following t to see if it will fix it:

1. Hard press the Secure Folder icon.
2. It will pop up a menu with 4 options. Click the "i" in front of the word Secure Folder.
3. On the next menu, locate Storage, click it.
4. In the next menu, click "Clear Data"
5. Click Yes in the next menu.

Once done, click the Secure Folder again to set it up.

That should fix it.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried that, but still the same issue. The Checking Info screen comes up, and then it just exits. Outside of Secure Folder, when the Checking Info screen comes, it then prompts me to scan my fingerprint. In Secure Folder, it exits before that.

Take the following steps: 


1. Boot into Recovery Mode,  using the Volume up and down buttons to scroll up and down and the Power button to activate any of your choices. 

2. Scroll to clear Cache, once done, 

3. Scroll to clear your apps 

4. The phone will reboot 

Once it rebooted, try to open Secure Folder again

I have the same issue on S23 Ultra. Got One UI 6.0 official update today.
"Clear Data" had no effect.
There is no "Clear Cache" or "Clear Your Apps" in Recovery Mode.
Clearing Cache Partition had no effect.

Deleting Secure Folder and creating it again had no effect either.
