Glide App is published in the App Store!

After some help with the Glide team, we are proud to publish… A Glide App in the App Store! Thank you @Mark, @david and the rest of the team! Your job is outstanding! EDIT: This was a test done by the Glide team, it’s not public yet, but I guess it’s what the (near) future holds for Glide apps!

Hey Jeff, We have issue converting our glide app to trusted web activity.Would you be able help us do it?
Here’s my original post/issue

Making our PWA app to Trusted Web Activity

Hey, We have created a PWA app using Glide. When we tested on our simulator, we see url bar on the app. This creates a total negative user experience as the user thinks it’s as site instead of app. We decided to convert it to Trusted Web Activity(TWA) . For it to convert to trusted web activity , we need to add .well-known/assetlinks.json. Is there a way can we upload this for our glide app?

If you can include screenshots in your original thread, that might make it more clear.

Make Glide APP into "APK" install file - No more Home Screen Mess

Hi Guys, my 1st post here. But after some research, i found a way around the add to home mess.

Once you ha…

You can use 3rd party website to do it (I made my own configuration file)
