1 . yes each time i remove it gets installed plus its also present on your server .
2 . well no it wont have any impact on your pwa app.
3 . yes this is a common issue on pwabuilder.com it somehow does not detects some files even though they are present , maybe there could be their caching or something .
"2 . well no it wont have any impact on your pwa app." -> so why my app can't run without internet, and why there's still an address bar ?
Could you please try to download the app and run on your phone to see the problem ?
If you can create a file works perfectly on your phone, please send it to me, I don't know where the problem is

Well this is a common issue ,
we have seen the users facing this issue
solution is : you need to rebuild your app from pwabuilder.com then re-upload your apk file .
We still dont know why this issue appears and how re-building fixes this but yes re-building package from pwabuilder.com will fix the issue .
hi, what do you mean by 'rebuilding' ? where should I started ?
If it means copy the link to pwabuilder again to regenerate the apk, yes, I did it many times, the problem is still there
Hi, I did the followings:
1. Vibe BP/ Service worker, change version and regenerate service worker
2. Insert the link to pwabuilder
the problem is still there, did I miss something ? could you please try to rebuild it to see if the problem persist ?
hi, I have seen this issue on 1 more occasion. The user re-entered his site link to PWAbuilder and re-generated the app and the issue was resolved.
There is no specific reason why this would happen. The address bar would appear only if assetlink file is not correctly configured.
---
I am rebuilding the app and testing on android and sharing results in my next reply.
Hi, how do you find it ?
Actually I re-generated many times not just once.
"The address bar would appear only if assetlink file is not correctly configured." yes, I aware of this, you may login to my files to see if it's in the right place.
Hi did you follow the step 4 mentioned here while publishing ? :
https://github.com/pwa-builder/CloudAPK/blob/master/Next-steps.md
Yes I did, however, I didn't do step 3, I load the apk file to my phone to test, do I need to upload it to Google Play for the bar to disappear ?
Yes you will need to upload to the play store as your site config expects the app from play store .
Hi, I created the app in apk via pwabuilder, but when I upload it to store, now Google play require the file to be .abb instead of .apk.
Is there any instruction to convert .apk to .abb ?
Well the pwabuilder.com itself provides the .aab file . please follow this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QkRH3yE6Hg
Hi,
I have new problem with generating app
1. In VibeBP
I have this new error when click 'Regenerate service worker': "app icon image size is less than recommended dimension", I didn't have this before, and my pic is 1024 x 1024
2. In PWAbuilder,
I have 0 point for the followings while I already declared them in VibeBP, this didn't happen before
