We've been seeing this issue in the field as well. Currently we are downgrading Chrome to the last version where it was working (104 or 105) to mitigate this.

The issue is that Chrome is not showing the device chooser popup, and instantly throws an error no device selected.

Edge on Android v105 works.

@SabatinoMasala Have you spotted any Chrome changelogs that might provide context?

See chromium Issue 1373502: WebUSB not working on Android Chrome Version 106 It is a bug accidentally introduced in 106

[tomasklim]

Probably will be fixed soon https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1373502#c29

QA OK

tested on my Android phone with latest version of Chrome and it works as expected.

How recent are we talking? On the Kiwi nightly and still getting nothing

[parkerlreed]

Yeah weird. Lower Chrome release is working

[parkerlreed]

Head up

Chrome Stable 106.0.5249.126 works Chrome Beta 107.0.5304.36 does NOT work Chrome Dev 108.0.5359.10 works

Looks like it has regressed again between 106 and 107 but fixed again after 108

[bosomt]

@parkerlreed probably expected There was 106 public version and 107 beta when webUSB was broken. They fixed it in 106 so they probably moved to 108 in beta release.

[sime]

Just to add Chrome Canary 109.05367.0 works

Hopefully 107* won't regress.

[parkerlreed]

As for Kiwi this is working as of 107.0.5304.66 released 30 minutes ago! Looks like we're good.
