I have deployed my app to play store. It is released on production. It works fine on google's pixel only. When I tap the link on Samsung devices I see instant app loading screen for few seconds (see the screenshot below) and the URL is handled by the browser (chrome in my case) instead of loading the instant app. However, buzz feed's instant app (https://www.buzzfeed.com/tasty) works absolutely fine.
Here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O1ZQkEcOUiTIkHZN3_QA94gTZCY-ppYo/view?usp=sharing) is the link to my log file when I tap the link. I don't see anything on Logcat.

My app uses this version YouTubeAndroidPlayerApi-1.2.2.zip https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/downloads
Recently my users started to report issues that videos aren't being played/loading - endless circle progress bar.
I checked on my Samsung S10 (Android 12) and it also has the same issue.
But I checked on pixel emulator (also Android 12) and it works fine, I even updated YouTube app to the latest version and still it works, so weird.
So emulator and real device has same version of YouTube app (17.22.36) and both on Android 12 but it doesn't work for real device only
And mb it effects only some users. App has enough users but only a few report this problem now and it doesn't work for my real device
I have same problem .

We have a PWA that will not install and instead only adds a shortcut to home screen (with Chrome badge on app icon).
A lighthouse audit gives 3/3 100% (Uses HTTPS, Registers a Service Worker, Manifest meets installability requirements) for Installable stating "Browsers can proactively prompt users to add your app to their homescreen, which can lead to higher engagement."
The "Add XXX to Home screen" banner DOES show and beforeinstallprompt is triggered, but it always creates a shortcut and not an app install.
We have tried on the 3 Android devices we have here (Galaxy S10, Galaxy S4 Mini, Galaxy S7, 9.0, 9.0, 4.4) as well as across many devices on Browserstack and always have the same issue.
Has anyone come across this issue before? What can be done to further test or resolve it?
If you are not signed into Google Play on the device apps will only install as shortcuts. Singing into Google Play resolved the problem.
This answer in another thread solved my issue:

I found a different potential problem. For me, it only added a shortcut to homescreen (with the chrome badge), because it couldn't install due to low storage. It doesn't notify you that that is the problem. But simply freeing up some storage leads to proper PWA install
I am developing an app where you get a text message with a link in it.
When this said link is clicked normally the app opens (Huawei p9 lite, htc one m8) but when I try to test this on a galaxy s6/s7 the standard messaging app opens up the in-app browser.
Is there a workaround for this ?
Edit: example url: http://smsvalidation.example.com/en/123456789
I also experienced this issue on s6 edge and s7 as well as the note series.
Here is what you could try:
Use custom url scheme like myapp://xyz
Redirect the user when the web page is loaded (not tested)
Open an iframe with the url when the web page is loaded (not tested)
Tinker with android chrome intents
I cannot add a web app to the home screen on the nexus 5, android 4.4
I've followed the instructions found at this link
https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/installtohomescreen
You can test the problem with this app for example:
http://weight.aerotwist.com
After following the instructions, I get an homescreen icon, but tapping on it brings up a menu with the various browsers available instead of just opening the web app.
I've tested the same problem with a locally installed app and it gives the message "App isn't installed".
It looks like a bug. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks!
The cause of this problem is that in Android 4.4, WebView was changed as in previously it was based on Webkit browser, and now its based on Chromium browser.
You can follow this guide to help migrating your app to Android 4.4
Users comment on google play that app is not opening on nexus 7. I am waiting for my nexus to test that issue. Right now I do not have that device.
My app is OpenGL ES 2.0 game.
Some ppl comment on google play that app is not openning. But I do not get exception error in Crashes and ANRs in Google Play.
What could be a reason for that?
I have a lot of native code. Do native code exceptions are reported somehow?
Could it be a ConfigChooser.chooseConfig bug? Is that recommended ConfigChooser.chooseConfig for Nexus or most apps?
I can confirm that the game crashes the moment you open it on the Nexus 7, however I know why you have nothing in Crashes & ANR... no Force Close dialogue box opens at all, you get a black screen, then the game immediately quits.
I do however have the stacktrace from logcat available, the error is in some C/C++ code you have via the NDK. I have uploaded the entire log from when you open the app onto pastebin for you.
