“Add to Home Screen” bug

I’ve identified an issue with the “Add to Home Screen” functionality.

If a user has access to only one app, adding it to the home screen results in the PWA being saved with just the base hostname (e.g., https://tide.appfarm.app), without the specific /appName path.

Initially, this isn’t a problem, since the user is automatically redirected to the only app they have access to. However, if the user later gains access to additional apps, opening the PWA from the home screen will instead show the built-in app list, not the originally added app.

This issue does not occur if the user has access to multiple apps at the time of adding to the home screen. In that case, the full URL including /appName is saved, and the correct app is opened directly.

Hi Erlend,

Thank you for sharing your case. I understand that this is inconvenient in scenarios where users get access to several apps after already saving one to the homescreen.

I will report this case to the development team.
