Mobile app no more in fullscreen 24.5

Postby stanko » 11 December 2024, 22:09

I have mobile application and if I start it from desktop icon there is no browser address bar - the app goes full screen.
Today I saved URL as an desktop icon in Chrome and the app does not start full screen. The browser header with address bar is still present.
The old desktop icons work fine, new desktop icon does not work.
What is changed?
I use In.De 24.5 and Ionic theme, Android mobile.

The full-screen functionality was achieved using an HTML page tag, which has now been deprecated. As a result, the old icons were created by a browser that still supported it, while the new ones were not. For some reason, Chrome detects that they are old icons and reactivates the handling, whereas it does not do so for the new ones.

Currently, the recommended way to enable this functionality is to create a manifest for PWAs. To do this, you need to customize the desktop.htm/desktop_sm.htm pages by placing them in the custom folder and adding the following tag in the HEAD area:

<link rel="manifest" href="manifest.json" />

Then, you will need to create the manifest.json file in the custom folder.
