PWAs and shortcuts disappear after reboot #3677

In both Brave and Vanadium, my PWAs always disappear from the homescreen after the OS reboots. I'm not sure why this happens but it's a very frustrating bug.

This happens for me too quite often, but I thought it was after the update, as that contains a reboot too. I must add, this doesn't happen consistently for me after every update.

For me it happened after the reboots from the last two updates. Normal reboots don't remove anything for me. Very annoying if you have many PWAs

This happened to me after the most recent update.

Hi !

I found a way to reproduce this behavior. I am not sure we only have a single root cause for all the issues mentioned in this thread but hopefully this might help solving at least some of them.

Basically if I create a shortcut to this Etherfields app (or to this one which as far as I can tell is the same app under a different domain) in my launcher and then reboot (or close and reopen the session), all my PWAs and shortcuts are gone. It does not seem to trigger with the other apps and shortcuts I use (things like linkedin, deliveroo or GOS forum) but with the Etherfields app I have been able to reproduce it with every single attempt.

I can reproduce the issue both in main and secondary profiles It does not wipe PWAs of other profiles though. If I create the faulty app in a profile all other PWAs in this profile will disappear but other profiles won't be affected.

For reference, I run version 2024103100 of GrapheneOS (although it did also occur in the previous one) on a Pixel8 and my apps are up to date (Vanadium and webview packages are in version 130.0.6723.86.0) I only use Vanadium for my shortcuts and PWAs, I don't even have another browser installed. I do not create them from a private tab. And I use the original launcher. So this should be pretty much the standard/vanilla setup.

For the record, this report was first mentioned on the forum in this thread and another user confirmed being able to reproduce the issue even when adding the Etherfields app from Brave.

Hi, my Web Apps / PWA's have been disappearing after the 2024112700 update. I re-added them, but now they've disappeared again after the 2024120200 update. I have about a dozen installed and it's really annoying to have to find and reinstall them!

A regular reboot doesn't make them disappear. Only after a reboot for an update, since 2024112700 they disappear.

The only widget I use (Proton Calendar) doesn't disappear.

We only fixed this upstream bug for widgets so far, not shortcuts / PWAs.
