Hello, I tried to install the Android app (shows as chromium webapk on the system) for three forums. This one here (worked), a self hosted forum (worked) and another self hosting forum (did not work). For the last forum a link somehow showed up and installed not the app but more than a bookmark or…

AFAIK the only image which mentions needing to be a PNG is the favicon.
