Chrome 徽章显示在已安装 PWA 的“添加到主屏幕”上（仅安装快捷方式）

Question

We have a PWA that will not install and instead only adds a shortcut to home screen (with Chrome badge on app icon).

A lighthouse audit gives 3/3 100% (Uses HTTPS, Registers a Service Worker, Manifest meets installability requirements) for Installable stating "Browsers can proactively prompt users to add your app to their homescreen, which can lead to higher engagement."

The "Add XXX to Home screen" banner DOES show and beforeinstallprompt is triggered, but it always creates a shortcut and not an app install.

We have tried on the 3 Android devices we have here (Galaxy S10, Galaxy S4 Mini, Galaxy S7, 9.0, 9.0, 4.4) as well as across many devices on Browserstack and always have the same issue.

Has anyone come across this issue before? What can be done to further test or resolve it?

Answer 1

If you are not signed into Google Play on the device apps will only install as shortcuts. Singing into Google Play resolved the problem.
