17 Chrome Android WebApp

CraigD edited this page Oct 9, 2024 · 1 revision

Current versions of Chrome on Android open Material (when saved to home screen) as a new tab, which breaks the WebApp look+feel. This, AFAIK, is due Chrome not treating LMS as a WebApp due to it being served over HTTP and not HTTPs. However, you can (for the moment at least) revert back to Chrome's previous behaviour (so opening Material as if its an app) using the following steps:

  1. Open chrome
  2. Go go "chrome://flags"
  3. Search for "PWA"
  4. Set "Enable the PWA Univeral Install Dialog" to "Disabled"
  5. Re-launch Chrome
  6. Re-add Material to home-screen

After this you can safely reset the flag to "Default"
