    Yeah, I forget what version of Android it went out in. I only really started paying attention when, at work, we realized that a lot of our unreproducible bugs were from PWA users claiming they had installed the native app.

    And those mismatched PWA / native bugs were overwhelmingly from Android users on newer versions of Android. They thought the new PWA install user experience was for a native Play Store app.

    The bugs were driving us crazy and then someone in UX caught the behavior on a user test.
