Install site as an app in crashing under 85.0.535.0 Canary build
Good morning
Issue is in the subject field above. Anyone else seeing this?
Already reported on the feedback hub.
Thanks
pedroaboim Also happening on 536.0

pedroaboim I have 85.0.537.0 and I am not seeing this, but I'm not sure if it's something we fixed or not. I suspect this might be due to a feature being enabled by accident, and perhaps it's disabled for me. Since you reported via the feedback hub, I will probably be able to tell, but please do try 537 and let me know. Also, if you do still see it, can you tell me what flags you have enabled in edge://flags and also what URL you are trying to install?
Thanks!

Thanks so much for your reply. Here are the flags I have enabled:
Desktop PWAs local updating
Desktop PWAs app icon shortcuts menu
Desktop PWAs run on OS login
Parallel downloading
Allow installation of external store themes
Enable Fullscreen Dropdown
Global Media Controls for Cast
Global Media Controls Picture-in-Picture
Turn off caching of streaming media to disk
Trying to install:
Facebook as an app, for instance.. (https://www.facebook.com) - nothing happens after naming the app
Google Contact as an app, for instance.. (https://contacts.google.com) - nothing happens after naming the app
Twitter, for instance, is ok (https://twitter.com/home)
Thank you so much in advance.
Thank you so much for your reply.

I can't install Facebook, or Google Contacts, for instance (https://www.facebook.com/) (https://contacts.google.com/).
And there are many other sites I can't install (home banking for instance). I already reset the browser, reinstalled it, etc,, but nothing changes. I can set the app shortcut names, but nothing happens.
I can install Twitter or Netflix, though...
Strange.
Thank you in advance and yes!, it still happens to me in 538.0.
PS. When will global media controls be back?

pedroaboim I made sure to enable the same flags as you and then tried to install facebook.com and it worked for me, which is too bad. I was hoping that I would see it and be able to better understand what is going on. I'm going to keep digging here, but please do submit the crashing reports.
