PWA App Installs no longer offer Tab Strip Settings in 105.0.1320+ [Regression/Bug]
I recently had to fresh install Edge and re-install apps. I have the edge://flags/#enable-desktop-pwas-tab-strip and edge://flags/#enable-desktop-pwas-tab-strip-settings enabled but Apps no longer g...
I'm not sure if we fully support tabbed PWAs yet, so it's possible this may have just broken. Let me ask the team about it!
Yeah, I do have flags turned on for tabbed PWA in Edge, so I know it's not a GA'd offering, but here's a test to run to show it can/does work on some sites...
Tabbed PWA working in Edge Apps
1. go to https://excalidraw.com/ and click on the install app icon from the address bar. Notice that there's an option for "Open as tabbed window"
Now, if instead, I use the Edge Apps Installer, it creates the PWA without ever giving me the options dialogue.
So... this becomes an issue for sites like Google Docs, which for some reason, Edge doesn't show the app install icon in the address bar (i.e., only way I can install Google Docs as a PWA is through the new Edge Apps, which as shown above, doesn't give me the option to make it a tabbed PWA).
- Ah, so it's only that particular entry point, THAT'S why I didn't have any problem with it during my own testing. I'll let the team know!
