TWAs require Digital AssetLinks to be setup on both the application and on the website, in order to enable the validation that allows Chrome to open the page in full-screen.
For security reasons, the signing key compatible with the setup on https://svgomg.firebaseapp.com/ is not committed with the sample code.
It is possible to setup Chrome to skip validation on device to enable testing.
Here are the 2 steps required to achieve this:
- Enable Chrome to accept command-line parameters:
On the Android Device, go to the Chrome version being used to test the TWA and navigate to
chrome://flags. Search for a setting called Enable commmand line on non-rooted devices and
change it to Enabled. Restarting the browser multiple times may be required.
- Create an Android file with the command-line parameters that allow skipping the TWA validation.
Add a file at /data/local/tmp/chrome-command-line, with the content
_ --disable-digital-asset-link-verification-for-url="https://svgomg.firebaseapp.com". Make sure
there's not newline at the end of the line, or it may break the launcher.
For convenience, a shell script that creates this file is available in this repository. Run it
by executing ./enable-debug.sh https://svgomg.firebaseapp.com.
To debug a different PWA, execute the script with a different host:
./enable-debug.sh https://example.com
As the debug certificate is different from the release one, and the fingerprint for debug should not be listed on the assetlinks.json file, is important to check if your Digital Asset Link is linked and verified.
After you generated your signed APK. it can be installed into a test device, using adb:
adb install app-release.apk
If the verification step fails it is possible to check for error messages using the Android Debug Bridge, from your OS’s terminal and with the test device connected.
adb logcat | grep -e OriginVerifier -e digital_asset_links
If it is failing you'll see Statement failure matching fingerprint. Verification failed. message. Therefore is important to review AndroidManifest.xml and build.gradle files and check if the configurations are matching with the assetlinks.json.
Otherwise Verification succeeded. message should appear.
