Why does the Facebook App's WebView version not allow PWAs to show Install Prompts?
3

As part of our ongoing efforts to optimize user experience and increase engagement with our Progressive Web Application (PWA) game, we have encountered a challenge when attempting to showcase install prompts within the Facebook App's WebView version.

Our team has noticed that, unlike in standard web browsers, the Facebook App's WebView restricts the display of PWA install prompts. This limitation raises concerns for us as we aim to seamlessly guide users to download our PWA game directly from their Facebook experience.

Could you kindly shed light on the specific technical aspects or policy considerations that contribute to the suppression of PWA install prompts in the Facebook App's WebView? Additionally, if there are any alternative approaches or best practices that would facilitate a smoother integration of PWA install prompts within the Facebook App's WebView, we would greatly appreciate your guidance.
