When I first accessed my Discourse site on my Android browser (chromium) it prompted me to download an “App”. One of our user’s is asking me how to find it after it was downloaded, but I can’t for the life of me find any documentation on this. Can somebody remind me the following? How do you trigger the browser to download the app? Once downloaded, where does it go? For clarity, I’m not talking about the app for folks hosted on Discourse.org. I’m asking about the one chromium-based browser’s have that’s not really an “app” but a dedicated browser instance. Thanks.

You will need to take a few screenshots of interesting pages, upload those a topic and fill then in at /admin/site_settings/category/branding?filter=manifest screenshots. For the screenshots, Chrome documents the following requirements: Width and height must be at least 320px and at most 3840px. The maximum dimension can’t be twice larger than the minimum dimension. Screenshots must have the same as…

Excellent! I knew it was something simple but couldn’t remember. Thanks for the refresher.
