Error when installing the Power Apps site as a web app
Thank you HotCakeX for confirming that. Yes I submitted feedback as well. I agree with you that Edge uses the wrong URL for the web app. Interesting. I wonder if web apps only use the root of a URL and ignores anything after a forward slash?

Yes I think so, but the problem is that Edge adds extra characters at the end of the URL, another example I just tried and successfully reproduced is on Instagram.
I went to this page on Edge: https://www.instagram.com/spacex/?hl=en
then installed it as a PWA.
closed all browser windows and PWAs.
clicked on that Instagram PWA icon and I got an error, checked the URL and it was pointing to:
https://www.instagram.com/?utm_source=pwa_homescreen
so it removed everything after the slash '/' and then added these characters:
"?utm_source=pwa_homescreen",
resulting in an error:
- Again, interesting. Hopefully someone on the Edge team will jump in on this discussion. Looks like Edge isn't handling the URL correctly when installing an app.
