I have an app that allows you to input some login information, opens a websocket to communicate with a backend. This login information is not stored (not by default anyway). This app is a one page application. (AngularJS but this should not matter)
The app is installed on the home screen and behaves as a share target. However when the share target is used, it always opens a new instance (new tab) of the app. This new instance is not logged in and I cannot do what I want to do with the shared link. For example, pass the data to the backend.
The manifest.webmanifest looks like this:
"share_target": {
"action": "index.html",
"method": "GET",
"params": {
"title": "name",
"text": "description",
"url": "link"
}
}
How can a one-page PWA act as a share target without opening multiple instances?
