I found a workaround to this problem. It really seems to be caused by the sandboxed version of Chromium when you install it as a snap. As I wasn't able to find any PPA for Chromium and Ubuntu 23.04, I made the decision to give the official Google Chrome a try. When I install e.g. Microsoft Teams as a PWA, it now appears correctly in the dash (as a separate app, with the right icon).
Not very happy about this resolution, since I try to stick to OSS as much as possible, but in this case I saw no other way. It would be great if this sandboxing issue could be solved somehow, especially if you are enforcing users to install the Snap version of Chromium. -- 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/2040290 Title: [Snap] PWA icon not shown in Ubuntu Dock Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When I install a Progressive Web App (PWA) using the Chromium Browser (Snap 118.0.5993.88) the app gets added correctly to the application list (the one that appears when you press the Windows key twice) from which it can be opened. However, when you open the application it is not shown as a separate application in the Ubuntu Dock (on the left) but seems like a regular second window of Chromium. Additionally, the icon of the PWA is not shown. I added a screenshot to visualize my problem exemplarily using Spotify. This makes switching between multiple PWAs a lot more complicated, since you have to iterate through all open PWAs and other Chromium windows. I guess this is a bug, because on my Manjaro-Gnome system Chromium PWAs appear as separate applications with the correct icon in the dock (Dash-To-Dock extension).
