PWA install

When you install a PWA via Chrome (or chrome like browser) it doesn’t show correctly as a launchable app.

Install the PWA as you would normally. Once the PWA is installed run

update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/

This will work however after each restart Chrome breaks the PWA so you need to make it read only and removes the ’#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open’ if it exists

sed -i '1{/^#!.*xdg-open/d}' ~/.local/share/applications/chrome-ompifgpmddkgmclendfeacglnodjjndh-Profile_1.desktop
chmod 444 ~/.local/share/applications/chrome-ompifgpmddkgmclendfeacglnodjjndh-Profile_1.desktop
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/

Once ran you can open PWA’s as normal from the gnome application store.
