Apps PWA not working on Chrome or Edge arm64 (BigSur 11.3.1 - MBA M1)

Hi,

Sorry for my english on google.

I am Brazilian and I have an MBA M1 with BigSur 11.3.1.

I can't use PWA apps on Chrome or Edge (both arm64).

After the normal installation process (youtube for example), nothing happens. When I enter the Chrome Apps gallery I see a page there, but it doesn't open in a new window. It only works when I disable the option "Open as window" and, in this case, it opens in a tab only.

As the problem occurs in Chrome and also in Edge, I imagine that the problem is in BigSur, in some configuration.

Does anyone have any idea what it might be?

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, fabreder!

We understand you're having trouble using Progressive Web Apps on your MacBook Air M1. We'd be happy to help you address this.

Since you've clicked the install app button already, can you go to Finder and on the menubar press Go, then select Home. Click the Applications folder and here you should see a folder named Chrome Apps. You should find the music app you're looking for here.

If that's not the case, try installing the app while in safe mode: Start up your Mac in safe mode

Please let us know the results.

Have a great day!
