Fullscreen android from homescreen

burned a whole day trying to make this work… but finally I did in the end.

I litterally mimic everything that was happening in https://2048.love2dev.com and still it wasnt appearing. Now there are sometimes very low level settings on the server that need to be set.

Ended up finding other websites where it worked like http://letgo.com/en?launch=homescreen . So I found out the difference (to my eyes) was this GCM sender ID inside the manifest. This page talks about it being used and for older version but it’s quite advanced to be honest: Web Push Interoperability Wins  |  Blog  |  Chrome for Developers

Anyway they say GCM sender ID is going to be deprecated but as far as I know it still works very well today…
So basically to make it appear with bubble I had to add inside the manifest
“gcm_sender_id”: “XXXX” which is (hold your seat) the actual project number in your Google Cloud project…

BTW @louisadekoya is correct this can only be tested in Live as Development goes under /version-test/ and your config is probably looking at root files/configs - it makes testing it quite bad.

Also some files dont get refreshed properly, so yes clearing the cookies/cache is recommended after each update of files. Sometimes going to the files itself directly in browser loads its latest version too.

Both the Bubble forum and Zeroqode one have the pop-up… Time for a cleaner easier-to-config plug-in @emmanuel perhaps?
