I opened a bug 1863897 that is now closed as a duplicate of this one which concerned the A2HS (add to home screen) functionality of PWAs (progressive web apps). If you use the A2HS functionality it should create a desktop icon and open the PWA in a Chromium standalone window that looks similar to a desktop application. However as per this bug, it does not work.
To reproduce, there is an MDN page https://developer.mozilla.org/en- US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Add_to_home_screen that links to a PWA that has a A2HS prompt: https://mdn.github.io/pwa-examples/a2hs/ In the snap version of Chromium the resulting desktop icon is missing and the link does not work. This did previously work in the deb package of Chromium, so I suspect it is caused by the migration to Snap but have not proved it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1732482 Title: [snap] doesn't properly save desktop files for "create shortcuts" action To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1732482/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
