Building android app generates inernal server error about cloudapk HOT 9 CLOSED

I can repro that. Here's the error message I get from the request:

Invalid PWA settings: name is required

Here's way the payload sent to generateSignedApkZip looks like:

{
    "packageId": "com..twa",
    "host": "pwa-directory.appspot.com",
    "name": "",
    "themeColor": "transparent",
    "navigationColor": "transparent",
    "backgroundColor": "transparent",
    "startUrl": "/manifest.json",
    "iconUrl": "https://pwa-directory.appspot.com/favicon.ico",
    "maskableIconUrl": null,
    "appVersion": "1.0.0",
    "useBrowserOnChromeOS": true,
    "splashScreenFadeOutDuration": 300,
    "enableNotifications": false,
    "shortcuts": [],
    "signingInfo": {
        "fullName": "John Doe",
        "organization": "Contoso",
        "organizationalUnit": "Engineering Department",
        "countryCode": "US"
    }
}

Another point is that the generated packageId is also invalid: com..twa.

It still returns error

@amanintech working on this end - I'm successfully generating an APK. Can I ask what URL you're using?

from cloudapk.

It doesn't work reliably. Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't. I am trying to retrace the network call and more information about the error.

Also, I think the styling part doesn't generate the right manifest file.

eg. I chose the standalone display view of the PWA but still, the generated app had it with the address bar. Is it supposed to be like that?
or should I raise a separate issue explaining the error?

from cloudapk.

Let me know if there's a consistently failing URL.

If your packaged APK is showing with address bar on Android, you probably forgot to include your digital asset links.

When you download your Android app package from pwabuilder, your zip file will contain a Next-steps.md which tells you what you need to do:

Digital Asset Links

To validate that you own your PWA's domain, you'll need to deploy a Digital Asset Links file to your server. The TWA Quick Start Guide explains how.

Follow those steps to deploy your digital asset links file, then your APK will load without address bar on Android.
