Application

 

 yesterday, when entering the applications intalled through web pages, i saw that the applications were running but they had to run completely by opening the application twice. i hope they review this problem soon because if it bothers me to start the application twice.

    Hi KamiShushu777 , thank you for reporting this. Yes, this is a bug that we have fixed in today's Canary build. You may find other odd behavior caused by the multiple windows being there, and that should all be fixed today as well.

     

    Thanks again,

    John

      Hi, johnjansen 


      Thank you, it is fixed now Version 90.0.782.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)

      I have a quick question about link capturing for PWAs in Edge canary


      I'm using these 2 flags
      edge://flags/#enable-desktop-pwas-link-capturing
      edge://flags/#enable-desktop-pwas-tab-strip-link-capturing

      and I have Twitter and YouTube installed as PWAs.

      when I try to share a YouTube link to Twitter using the share button on YouTube page, I see Twitter PWA opening and I also see a new Edge window opening with Twitter website.

      so this causes 2 things to open, instead of 1. I've sent feedback before but was wondering if this is an expected behavior (I hope not) or just a bug.

       

      Twitter opening in Edge window loads my feed, Twitter that opens in Twitter PWA shows me the content I shared from YouTube, ready for me to click on post.

       

      so the extra Twitter that opens in Edge window is unnecessary.

        HotCakeX , interesting. I'm not seeing that with my builds. If I launch the youtube app and click to share a video to Twitter, I see twitter load in the browser itself, not as a PWA. We're actually doing work on Share currently that is blocked by work coming in some upcoming releases, so I wasn't expecting it to launch the PWA yet. 

         

        I wonder if there is an additional flag you have set or something subtle I'm missing.

         

        All that said, it is a bug if we launch Edge as well as the PWA. When all is said and done, if you have the PWA installed, that should be the target for the share contract.
