I have a few of instances of Discourse running for different projects. They are pretty much identical, other than a couple of minor CSS differences, but are behaving differently when I try to use the “Add to homescreen” option on chrome for android. The majority work without a hitch (imitating a native app; splash screen, no URL bar, etc), however two instances seem to simply put a shortcut on the homescreen and open up in a new tab in chrome.
Are there any specific criteria that I might have neglected to set up in the two misbehaving that might be causing this? (I’ve tested it across a couple of devices, so I’m confident I’m not the only one experiencing it).

As said here you need https. Can you share the links?

Both manifest.json is somehow broken. How they did it is beyond me.
Maybe they forgot to set a required field…
What are the required fields? And how would I go about fixing this?

My best guess is they didn’t set the apple_touch_icon_url SiteSetting. Try sending a PM to an admin and asking then.

Hahaha, you should’ve mentioned it earlier
The only SiteSettings that we use are title and apple_touch_icon_url.
def manifest
render json: default_manifest.to_json
end
def opensearch
render file: "#{Rails.root}/app/views/metadata/opensearch.xml"
end
private
def default_manifest
{
name: SiteSetting.title,
short_name: SiteSetting.title,
display: 'standalone',
orientation: 'portrait',
start_url: "#{Discourse.base_uri}/",
background_color: "##{ColorScheme.hex_for_name('secondary')}",
theme_color: "##{ColorScheme.hex_for_name('header_background')}",

Do you use any plugins? The push notifications one mess with this controller I think.
Yeah I have the push notifications plugin installed on both, I’ll try rebuilding one without and see if that fixes it.

Hoho, found it!
I think that just configuring the plugin may work. You either install and fill all the fields or uninstall.

There is a field called gcm_sender_id somewhere.
However, this should not happen anyway. This may fix it (still need some testing):

disabling the plugin fixed it for https://forum.ether.camp .
I’ll just disable it on both for now, and re-enable it once it’s been fixed.
Thanks heaps for the help.
