The app install banner isn’t displaying for my site. I somewhat worked around this by documenting the process that people need to go through:
But this is non intuitive and challenging for my audience.
Is there anything I can troubleshoot to ensure the app install banner pops up at the top of the page?
To clarify, I’m hoping to prompt them to install it as a PWA.
It seems the admin setting for this:
Actually gets them to install from the app store, which is not what I want.
In addition it looks like this setting only offers for trust level 1… Which doesn’t appear to be configurable?
Anyway, is there a way I can get a similar banner to prompt for PWA install? Or would I need to create a Theme Component for that?
Can you share a link to your site so I can troubleshoot?
That’s why they are disabled by default. You removed the PWA install banner when you toggled those settings.
The site is at delta.countyfence.org.
I unchecked those two boxes just to test. Loaded in firefox on mobile. I’m not seeing a banner so far… You’re saying a PWA banner should display when those boxes are not checked?
I saw the banner once when I first opened Chrome on this URL. I wanted to take a screenshot, but I did not react enough fast.
However, I can’t see it anymore, no matter what browser I use, or clear the cache.
Firefox doesn’t support the PWA install banner.
Now in “Browser” a generic Chromium that comes with my phone. Banner doesn’t display here.
Chrome won’t install as my phone is degoogled, LineageOS… So I can’t test in that.
AFAIK the PWA install banner is only supported on Google Chrome, and uses the Play Store to build the PWA .APK on the fly during the install process.
It depends on several things you won’t have in a degoogled phone.
