change_app_user_settings(manifest_id, link_capturing=None, display_mode=None)

Changes user settings of the web app identified by its manifestId. If the app was not installed, this command returns an error. Unset parameters will be ignored; unrecognized values will cause an error.

Unlike the ones defined in the manifest files of the web apps, these settings are provided by the browser and controlled by the users, they impact the way the browser handling the web apps.

See the comment of each parameter.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
manifest_id str
required
link_capturing Optional[bool]

(Optional) If user allows the links clicked on by the user in the app's scope, or extended scope if the manifest has scope extensions and the flags DesktopPWAsLinkCapturingWithScopeExtensions```` and ````WebAppEnableScopeExtensions are enabled. Note, the API does not support resetting the linkCapturing to the initial value, uninstalling and installing the web app again will reset it. TODO(crbug.com/339453269): Setting this value on ChromeOS is not supported yet.

get_os_app_state(manifest_id)

Returns the following OS state for the given manifest id.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
manifest_id str

The id from the webapp's manifest file, commonly it's the url of the site installing the webapp. See https://web.dev/learn/pwa/web-app-manifest.

required

Returns:

Type Description
Generator[T_JSON_DICT, T_JSON_DICT, Tuple[int, List[FileHandler]]]

A tuple with the following items: 0. badgeCount - 1. fileHandlers -

install(manifest_id, install_url_or_bundle_url=None)

Installs the given manifest identity, optionally using the given installUrlOrBundleUrl

IWA-specific install description: manifestId corresponds to isolated-app:// + web_package::SignedWebBundleId

File installation mode: The installUrlOrBundleUrl can be either file:// or http(s):// pointing to a signed web bundle (.swbn). In this case SignedWebBundleId must correspond to The .swbn file's signing key.

Dev proxy installation mode: installUrlOrBundleUrl must be http(s):// that serves dev mode IWA. web_package::SignedWebBundleId must be of type dev proxy.

The advantage of dev proxy mode is that all changes to IWA automatically will be reflected in the running app without reinstallation.

To generate bundle id for proxy mode: 1. Generate 32 random bytes. 2. Add a specific suffix 0x00 at the end. 3. Encode the entire sequence using Base32 without padding.

If Chrome is not in IWA dev mode, the installation will fail, regardless of the state of the allowlist.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
manifest_id str
required
install_url_or_bundle_url Optional[str]

(Optional) The location of the app or bundle overriding the one derived from the manifestId.

launch(manifest_id, url=None)

Launches the installed web app, or an url in the same web app instead of the default start url if it is provided. Returns a page Target.TargetID which can be used to attach to via Target.attachToTarget or similar APIs.

launch_files_in_app(manifest_id, files)

Opens one or more local files from an installed web app identified by its manifestId. The web app needs to have file handlers registered to process the files. The API returns one or more page Target.TargetIDs which can be used to attach to via Target.attachToTarget or similar APIs. If some files in the parameters cannot be handled by the web app, they will be ignored. If none of the files can be handled, this API returns an error. If no files are provided as the parameter, this API also returns an error.

According to the definition of the file handlers in the manifest file, one Target.TargetID may represent a page handling one or more files. The order of the returned Target.TargetIDs is not guaranteed.
