Let your Android app navigate on a WiFi w/o internet access when mobile data is on

Recently a client contacted me because their mobile app could not connect to a webpage served from a WebServer located inside a WiFi network without internet access.

It seemed that they could connect to the same page only by disabling mobile data on the phone and that this regularly occurred on Android 10 devices and randomly on Android 9 smartphones.
