Hello there, it seems like PWA mode no longer works in Chrome on Android, that is, even after adding the Playroom to the home screen, the address bar and other browser UI elements are still visible.
We have received multiple user reports about this, and I have also confirmed myself, in all cases, using Chrome.
Any ideas if some recent change on the Web client could have broken this? It worked fine before.
I've received the first report privately about this on the 3rd of September, and today got another one. Unfortunately I don't use Android regularly, so I don't know when this definitely broke. On iOS it seems like nothing is different and everything works as expected, and the same with Chrome on Windows.
Thanks.

Hello,
Nothing has changed recently.
Do you observe the problem only with Chrome ? Or is it also present with other browsers ?
I'll have a look on dev tools on Chrome PC to see if I can have a clue. Maybe Google made some changes with new requirements, and now the manifest is rejected.

Hello,
I don't know if it solved anything, but I fixed two manifest warnings:
The logo was specified with size 96x96 while its real size is 150x150. I don't understand at all from where it determines that its size is 150x150 when 96x96 is specified in the SVG view box, but well, I believe you, Google
The required size of an icon must be 144x144, so I converted and resized my SVG logo to PNG. PNG is always fixed size so hopefully it will stop complaining.
I doubt it will change anything for the problem, but we never know, they are sometimes ridiculously strict with that graphical stuff. Let me know.

Hello, actually the problem is fixed for me now, thanks.
For others: When adding the Playroom to your home screen, after clicking the add to home screen option inside Chrome menu, Chrome on Android seems to ask what you want to do, and you have two options:
Add to home screen - this is the one you don't want, as this just adds a bookmark for the Web client which opens in Chrome.
Install - this is the one you want, which should add a Playroom icon and once opened, should be full screen.
I didn't even have these two options before today, it would just add it as a bookmark, so the fixes helped I assume.
