Public bug reported: Since the change to a Snap package, PWA "add to homescreen" (A2HS) does not seem to be working.
I am using Xubuntu 19.10 A link is created on the desktop with the app name, but the icon is a generic one and clicking on the link just brings up a blank Chromium page. I tested it from my own PWA to start with, but to check it is a generic problem I used the MDN PWA page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en- US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Add_to_home_screen which has a PWA demo app called "Awesome Fox Pictures". If you open the live demo page: https://mdn.github.io/pwa-examples/a2hs/ you should be able to add the app to your desktop, but this creates the broken link I described. ** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863897 Title: Desktop link for Progressive Web Apps incorrect Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since the change to a Snap package, PWA "add to homescreen" (A2HS) does not seem to be working.
