I have a PWA that installs no problem on a desktop every single time so I know it's configured properly. But for some reason, on several different Android devices when I try to install the PWA it says installing but nothing happens. There is no icon ever created on the home screen or within apps. Also, it will say Adding <AppName>...
in my notifications and it will sit there for like 5 minutes or even much longer. When it finally goes away there is still no indication that it is installed anywhere.
Also strange is that Sometimes after a period of time all of the installs that I've been trying to install will suddenly show up with their own independent icons, so I'll have like 5 icons for the same PWA app in my apps list. I've had a couple times where it installs with no issue, but most often I have to keep playing around until it finally installs.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
Here is the only thing I could find remotely related to my app or any sort of install in my logcat. As a side note: there are no messages of any kind when looking at the console for the webpage while remote debugging.

I ran into this same issue when trying to install a PWA on Android, and realized that I had disabled the Add app icons to Home screen
setting. Once I re-enabled that option via Long press on Home screen > Home settings
, the PWA installed successfully.
