Can we delete "Install App" in the menu?

[Brice]

I’ve the same need. I’ve apps published on App Store and Google Play.
I need to remove “install app” in the menu and the popup in login screen.

Yes this is a huge problem for us, and for people dont want use this… i think it’s really a great idea, but they need to put this editable, some people dont want use this.

Please, Glide, make it optional.

If the app is already in stores it doesn’t make any sense to “Install the app”. I know you don’t support apps in stores, but that’s not the only reason to make it optional.

I’m planning to use Nativator.io to generate android and ios apps from my glideapp and when I tested my app with nativator preview the install app showed up in the hamburguer menu and in the login screen, which would be really confusing for a user that had just downloaded the app from the store.

I’ll go with the ones who are asking:

please, let us choose whether to show or not that button in the hamburguer menu!

[Carter]

Yes ! Dont support stores doesn’t mean we want all option. This “install” app and the message need to be an optional option. (maybe only for PRO users ?).

[ideia]

Yes…
I’m waiting for this resolution in order to publish my app.
Please, Glide guys, help us out!

I managed to remove it magically.

That’s my app’s hamburguer menu preview with nativator.io:

So I inspected the page and tested html in css till I solve I make it disappear with:

div[aria-label = "Flyout menu"] > div > div :nth-child(3){
display: none;
}

The number inside nth-child will be different for different screens. Test it and you will probably find your solution.
Here’s my app’s hamburguer menu preview now:

Great small victory. We are going to the stores!

[jorgeleon]

Nice!!

Where in Glide do you enter that code?

[Carter]

Thanks a lot! But don’t forget in Android version they will show the bottom pop-up too ! So take a look if you can disable the popup too, not sure if we can make it with CSS.

[ideia]

I’ve entered it in a Rich Text inside every screen that shows the hamburguer icon.

[ideia]

Uh, that’s true…
At least it will appear only one time…

It would be really hard to try to disable it because it only appears in phones, so I cannot inspect the element and try some wizardy.

This guy will probably be there : /

Please note that you have to enter this code on every single tab-level screen you have to make sure that the “Install App” thing does not appear when you access the hamburger menu in any tabs.

Also, you can’t use any list-style screen, only details screen, to be able to add a rich text component to the screen.

Lastly, CSS is not officially supported, so it can break any time.

@ideia

div[aria-label = "Flyout menu"] > div > div :nth-child(3){
display: none;
}

Only in the main menu pages. Detail pages that have the back button don’t need it, same for pages accessed through the hamburger menu, because there is the back button, so those who want to use a list-style screen can do it but only with the hamburger menu.

[ThinhDinh]

Yeah, I meant that when I refer to “tab-level screen”. Your point is correct for details-level screens and hamburger tabs.

[jorgeleon]

Why isn’t there the option to hide it, like other components?

[Brice]

Great!
Any solution for login screen popup?

[ideia]

You don’t want the login screen to show? Make the app public…

[ThinhDinh]

Which specific “login screen” are you referring to? Can you send us a screenshot?

[Brice]

This.

[ThinhDinh]

I think that’s not something we have control over. It appears on a screen where we can not add any CSS.
