Forum links in Discourse Hub on Android always open in Chrome, even when the forum is installed as PWA. Is that expected behaviour? Shouldn’t all links open in their respective PWAs? (Always open supported links is enabled in settings for the PWA and the forum link is registered.)

I have posted a beta version (1.6.2) of DiscourseHub for Android that removes Chrome Custom Tabs and triggers a browser prompt, which in turn will display the installed PWA matching the site. [Screenshot (Jun 10, 2020 21_22_48)] For push notifications, I have made no changes, I think users using …

This is a change we will definitely be exploring when we update our Android app next. In fact I am thinking we will just drop chrome tab altogether in the Android app and always rely on PWA for opening specific forums. cc @Falco / @pmusaraj

I actually support this change cause we get to junk the whole chrome tab thing that people seem to dislike. It means the Android build of the app becomes simpler and has less moving parts. @pmusaraj I am curious how simple it would be just to junk chrome tab? I recall @tgxworld showed me how slow c…

I think that’s easy to do, in fact we trigger a browser prompt now if Chrome isn’t installed. I have not tested with a PWA installed, curious to see if it picks that up automatically or if it still triggers the prompt.

A installed PWA via WebAPK will automatically register in the OS to handle URLs under the service worker scope. So it will work provided DiscourseHub doesn’t use webviews anymore and use normal links. What about the push notifications? Users will see double notifications if they use both …

We can certainly account for it, simplest solution is just to disable push notifications in the app for Android. Or at least provide a switch for it
