Firebase app distribution url returns 404 error

Question

I have recently finished developing an application and I wanted to publish it between few friends to test it.

I have sent it to 4 different users where 3 opened it without any problem while the 4th user receives the following error:

Is there any reason why it happens or how I can fix it?

Thank you

Answer 1

Anthony from the App Distribution team here. We have found the root cause and pushed out a fix yesterday.

It turned out that we were not handling the iw locale properly (which is an old, deprecated version of he that some devices still send). Now, we properly load the page and show Hebrew for that specific ISO 639-1 code.

Testers should now be able to use the site without issue. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Answer 2

I had the same issue, I finally managed to narrow down the issue to the browser type which is launched once clicking on the invite link. On Samsung devices, the default browser is "samsung interent" which couldn't handle properly(not sure why) the invite link, once setting the default browser to chrome everything worked as expected.
