@dominickng and I just had a chat about this. I think that behaviour would be bad but it's not something we can, or should, be specifically trying to stop. You can already prevent web app installation in favour of an Android app in Chrome (by e.g., not having a service worker but having a Play app in `related_applications`). So your example of the "evil" behaviour is already possible, and we aren't enabling further evil behaviour. As I put it to Dom, "we aren't the PWA police, just the ticket inspectors." The PWA install banner is a carrot to encourage people to make a PWA. I don't think we should be worried about PWA authors not showing the web app install banner. The web app install banner is the reward for being a PWA, not the other way around. > Basically, if related_applications doesn't include "web" and prefer_related_applications is true, then would it not disqualify it as a "progressive web app"? Yes, that would disqualify it as a PWA. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
