Hey John and Steve,

I've worked my way through the "progressive web app monthly training" and have a few questions:

Is there a way to center the playlist I have created in wordpress?

Below is a screenshot. It's not a big deal but I think it would look better centered.

I have also noticed that my album cover here looks very low res but it isn't a low res image...

The second screenshot is just to show you how I needed to install the app on my android phone, using chrome.

There was no option to "add to home screen", so I'll need to swap this image for another screenshot. I'm not sure if Chrome has changed this since this lesson came out but I just thought I'd let you know, in case you get a few more confused android users 🙂

(By the way, sorry about the dark screenshots, my phone was in blue-light filter mode)

And lastly- that wishlist member site you recommended - is this something I need to sign up for even if I only use my app as a playlist for my free songs for now?

Cheers,

Mira

Hi Mira,

To be honest, I'm not sure. It looks like this is another issue with your specific phone/browser, as I do not see the screen the same way. You might try quickly testing another theme to see if that fixes the issue for you. If it does then I'd need to look deeper into this for future updates.

It's pretty finicky and I'd really need to dive into the code and play with things to figure it out.

Thanks for the clarification on the android instructions. It does look like something has changed. I am not an android user so I had to go find existing instructions/graphics, which were as I shared in the lesson. You'd want to go ahead and replace it with your own graphic if this inconsistency bothers you.

If you are not selling private access and you are using this just to share free tracks then you do not need to password protect it and would not need the plugin.

Hope that helps.

Thanks John!

Something really weird happened, in regards to the Android instructions:

I de-installed the app on my phone (wasn't happy with how the icon displayed). So I uploaded a new icon, cleared my chrome cache and browsing history and then tried to install the app again.

Suddenly the option to download has vanished (see screenshot).

I can add it to my home screen but all this achieves is basically a shortcut to the "how-to-download-app" page.

I also asked a friend to test this on his iphone but he couldn't work it out and it seems he also only gets the shortcut of the page on his home screen.

If you have any idea what's going on or advice let me know, this seems so simple yet I can't seem to set it up!Laugh

Hi Mira,

My apologies for the slow reply. I was tied up with another project over the last week and fell a bit behind on messages.

Because I am not an android user it's very hard for me to trouble shoot this. I have not encountered this particular bug so I'm not sure what may or may not be happening here.

Your best bet is to contact the plugin's support and see if they can't guide you in the right direction.

You can do so at https://wordpress.org/support/.....-web-apps/

You'll just need to be logged into wordpress.org (it's free).

If you find the solution let us know what happened here.

In the meantime, I am happy to test it on iOS. Can I get the link to the splash page?

Hey John,

Thank you so much, I'll contact support and will let you know if what they say.

Here's the link, I hope it won't just save another shortcut to the home screen... 🙂

Hi Mira,

I tested it and it works perfectly when I clicked over from apple mail to safari. Worked exactly like it's supposed to. 

However, it does not work in Chrome on an iOS device. I have just learned that Chrome does not offer a save to home page feature on iOS. They do on Android though, so I am not sure why it is not working for you.

So I will need to add an instruction for iOS users that mentions that the link must be pend in Safari.\

Admittedly, there are a few bumps in the road that are coming up we test this on different types of devices. I'll look into this further and let you know what I find out. And same goes for you... Let us know what plugin support says for your specific issue.
