    missing-root Setupâ‹®

    • stock launcher
    • vanadium with some webapps and linked sites to the launcher

    Every time I reboot, these links are gone. They worked in between I think? It is not always every reboot it seems?

    This time a normal reboot, no update, all icons gone.

    Based on this description I am not following whether it is or is not every update, and whether it is or is not every reboot.

    Is this in the owner profile or a secondary profile (or both)?

    Is it possible to list some specific PWAs?

        I had the launcher icons (PWAs) there for a while and then they were suddenly gone. So absolutely not every reboot either.

        Then there was an update and they were gone, I think. May have been the reboot after that update.

        Extremely hard to reproduce.

          PWAs has been disappearing on GrapheneOS for a long time.
          For me they usually disappear when i switch profiles but it recently noticed that some disappeared after the last update so that may just have been it.

              I haven't had a single shortcut or PWA disappear... The difference might be that I keep them all in folders and I always use a secondary profile.

                Carpool7341 no that is not the case

                This is an edge case and some people never have it

                  Hmm, some variables

                  • is vanadium your default browser?
                  • fo you have many apps?
                  • private space and work profile?

                      missing-root is vanadium your default browser?
                      Yes It's my default, but i also tried PWAs with other browsers like brave and Firefox.
                      P.S. I think if one were to use google chrome the PWAs will be registered at OS level and thus they won't be disappearing like with other browsers.

                      missing-root fo you have many apps?
                      Not really, probably had a dozen PWAs at the most (in single profile that is) but since they randomly disappear I don't usually bother adding more then a few.

                      missing-root private space and work profile?
                      Nope, primarily using secondary user profiles.

                              yellow-leaves good point! Google Chrome does something weird with PWAs and installs them as Apps.

                              this could be an answer. On Firefox this never happens, so I use it way more than I would like to.

                                  I'm sure I tested Firefox before and that the PWAs disappeared just like with Vanadium.

                                      Tried Firefox again, switched profiles and the Firefox PWA disappeared along with the other PWAs installed by Vanadium.

                                        Got the same issue on Pixel 6a GrapheneOS latest stable release.

                                        It's been happening for about 3-4 weeks now.

                                        15 days later

                                        I get this issue on pixel 7a, but not only "after reboot", it's much more random.

                                        I mainly use two user profiles back and forth:
                                        #1 is always running in the background with google play without account and no playstore.
                                        #2 is not running in the background and has no google play services.

                                        So far the webapp in profile 1 hasn't disappeared after two or three updates and reboots.
                                        For profile 2 I just have to switch a bunch of times between profiles during regular use and eventually the shortcuts are gone.
