Android Progressive web app broken?

The progressive web app functionality seems to be broken. When checking the app’s manifest.json file I see these is the setting "display": "standalone". But when installing the site via the steps mentioned here and then open the app via the home screen icon it doesn’t show in full screen but it opens as a new tab within Chrome. I’ll end up with lots of Home Assistant tabs in the end. It’s seems like the site doesn’t match all the criteria mentioned in the Google documents linked above.

So adding it to a home screen works fine but letting the app behave like a PWA doesn’t. I know Google Chrome is now more strickt in when a site acts as a PWA. Maybe this is related to this.

Are there more people facing this problem who recently added an icon to there home screen.

Are you using ssl? If so are you using port 443?

I’m using ssl but not that port.

That is why it isn’t working. Delete the shortcut, Move to 443, so that your url doesn’t have a port number on the end. Recreate the shortcut.

Okay I’m going to try this tonight. Thnx for the quick response.

If you open the URL when in flight mode you can add it to the homescreen and it will behave like an app (no topbar), but you wont get an icon in the app drawer.

:grinning: ok that works! Thnx
