Facebook JS API does not work with progressive web app

Question

• I have a "Progressive Web App" installed to my phone's homescreen.

• The Facebook Javascript SDK it trying to open a login dialog popup window using window.open.

• This results in an about:blank tab being opened in Chrome which never loads, and never redirects the user back to the web app.

Does anyone have any advice or experience with this problem? I imagine since these "Homescreen Apps" are fairly new, this might not be a well known issue (yet).

Answer 1

Looks like it was a bug with Chrome itself. Should be fixed by now (Chrome 68 was released the 24th of July).
