Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[heijulien]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 12; Mobile; rv:109.0) Gecko/114.0 Firefox/114.0
Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

Have librera or any other pdf reader installed, in Addition to passandroid.
Open a pdf in firefox.
Select the open in app Option from the menu.

Actual results:

Firefox opens the PDF in passandroid by default instead oft showing the app selector popup. Basically this issue: https://github.com/ligi/PassAndroid/issues/474

Expected results:

When no app is already selected as default, it should open the app selector that allows chosing a compatible one (the android builtin app selector typically pops up in that case)

:heijulien with recent changes on how we interact with PDFs, is this still an issue? I see that once we opened the PDF and when i tap on open in app I see the app picker. (Please see attached video).

Can you please confirm if this is still an issue?

Using Firefox 118.1.1, i can confirm that i also get the app picker now, so it's no longer an issue.
