Apps like Icon Project show that you can let your app make a homescreen icon with a link to a website. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?? I dont know where to start.
Icon project submits data to a php based website which then shoots out an html to your browser ...
This html is nothing but a web app which is cached and stored to your homepage ...
information on setting the web app icon and caching can be found on

I have website (https://www.kriscent.com/product/kart-supermarket/). I created PWA of that after that I uploaded it on Play store by using TWA(Trusted Web Activities), App URL is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.kriscent.kartlite.
The URL of website always show in app, So I uploaded the assetlink.json (URL: https://www.kriscent.com/.well-known/assetlinks.json).
After uploading the assetlinks.json, When I run my app, the website URL disappeared but when I switched on other link in the app then the URL shows again.
I don,t know what is happening. Please help me if anybody has idea to resolve this issue.

The problem is that, when navigating to a product detail page, you are using a different origin than the one used to open the Trusted Web Activity and that doesn't have Digital Asset Links setup:
When the application is started, it opens https://www.kriscent.com/, which is correctly validated.
When clicking on a product, the user is take to https://kriscent.com/ (without www), which is a different origin, and is not validated in the Android app.
It is possible to get the Trusted Web Activity to work with multiple origins but, in this case, I'd recommend using a single origin for the initial URL and the navigations, as you will be able to take advantage of using the same service worker, browser storage, etc.
I have recently inherited the Admin/developer role for our page and I am new to Facebook Development. I am attempting to add a new tab to our page and the only option I am getting is to build an App but all of the App options I come across make it sound like it's trying to do more than what I want it to do.
What I want to do is produce a tab on the page. That will link to an app/canvas displaying an image that the user can click to go to our offer.
So far I've built a basic app with Display Name, namespace, Page Tab Name, Page Tab URL and a Tab image. but when I refresh my page I do not get a new tab and when I preview the app page it is not the format I am looking for.
I've tried going through the tutorials but since this is all new to me I ahve yet to make any sense as to what I'm looking for or missing. Could anyone let me know what app format I am looking for? Or am I in the wrong place entirely?
You need to explicitly add an app to a page. Not sure if you've tried it or not but navigate to:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID
&display=popup&next=YOUR_PAGE_TAB_URL
Replacing YOUR_APP_ID with your app id and YOUR_PAGE_TAB_URL with the url you set for you page tab.
I am not sure if this is grounds of app rejection or not:
In my app I receive JSON data from webserver and it has html content like
"[html] a href www.mycompany/view/regulations.html"... click for regulations...[/html]"
Is it okay to show the contents of the url above when clicking on "Click for regulations" link, or will this be rejected because I am under the impression that all html has to be carried locally?
That shouldn't be a problem. We have an app were our TOS is loaded from an (online) URL. What they usually don't like if your code loads from an external source.
I have a requirement to do the following task.
Inside a Phonegap iOS app, the user wants to view a pdf file after clicking a link which will load the pdf from the remote server.
And also user needs print, email functions with this document viewer.
So far I have tried following options.
Exit from the app when user click on the link and try to load the pdf throught the Safari. This is not working because user has to relogin for viewing the application.
Check with child-browser plugin. But it does not provide the options like print/email.
It'll be really great if some one can help on this who has similar experience.
Thanks
Does anyone know how to view the HTML code of a webapp that's saved to the iPhone home screen? Some webapps redirect to a different html file when they get "promoted" to the home screen. It's that code I'd like to examine.
According to Apple's documentation, the mode in which a webapp is being viewed can be retrieved using JavaScript. So, if you send the iPhone's User-agent header from your computer and then grab a copy of the first HTML document that gets served up (before JavaScript has a chance to do any redirects) you should be able to find some JavaScript code that decides how to display the webapp based on the iPhone viewing mode.
