Fixed Thread 'PWA has no "back" button'

All 2.3-Betas up to 6 have no "Back" button in the Progressive Web Application. The "Up" button is visible and usable, the "Back" button not.

That’s a different thing than when the PWA shows a stand-alone file (like a download). You can’t insert JavaScript for things like a back button because it’s not an HTML page to begin with.
 
(1) Is it possible for Xenforo to use templates specific for the PWA to "intercept" this PWA direct download problem ?
and then ... what about giving the PWA user the option of receiving the download via email ?

(2) Is it possible for Xenforo to use templates specific for the PWA to prevent the PWA access to direct downloads ?

There is a brief window that pops up before the download option comes up - it has a done button, top left

View attachment 325157

It’s very brief.

Not sure that points to any clues / solutions

(3) Does this super quick screen represent a possible way to intercept the direct download ? It came up briefly when I tried to download the .pdf in this thread.
 
(4) can all the attachment links be turned into "Email this attachment to me" and the user can receive the attachment via email .. vs. crashing the PWA ?
 
Automated triage: Browser issue

Thank you for reporting this issue. When the iOS home-screen app opens an attachment, iOS shows the file itself inside the app window. That window has no browser controls, and the forum cannot add a back button to a file that isn't a web page. Swiping back from the left edge works in some cases; otherwise, close and reopen the app.

This is an automated assessment. A member of staff may review and update it.
