Is there a way to change the URL of a web app once created?

[stephenll]

I have a website that changes its URL after you enter the original URL. It is tied to a session ID that changes each time and also time outs eventually. I'd like to create a web app with the original URL but when I create the web app it pulls the latest URL in Safari.

Is there a way to change the URL of a web app once created in Sonoma?

I tried opening the package and changing the URL in the plist file but that results in an error.

Thanks

I don't have Sonoma at the moment to test, but if the package includes a _CodeSignature folder, you should probably remove it after modifying the plist.

If I'm reading this right, you're logging in, redirected to a different URL, and then creating the web app (which uses that new URL)...and now want to change the web app's URL back to the original one?

Are you able to create the web app on the original URL/login page, and then log in using the web app?

Can't speak for Sonoma, but this is how I've always done it in iOS/iPadOS. For example, I'd create the web app when on outlook.com, then open the web app and log in (which redirects to a different URL). It also remembers my log in session so I don't have to log in every time.

There isn't a log in. Here is the actual address I'm trying to switch to:

https://wsr.pearsonvue.com/testtake...eriesCode=Spreadsheet_SAMPLE&languageCode=ENU

After entering that into Safari, the webpage/url changes to something like this:

Pearson VUE - Athena

abe-prd-1.pvue2.com

Which doesn't work if I try to open the web app later in the day after creating it.

Doesn't appear so. You can only change the app title and icon.

With sites like that (which require a login before accessing certain content), it's hard to create a web app to go direct to the content without having a persistent login for the site as a whole. Since Pearson does not use persistent logins, your best option would be to create the web app for the login page rather than the test page.

Has anyone made a web app out of gmail? Do notifications work? (I’m not running any betas).

You can make a web app out of multiple Gmail accounts (one for each account), but Notifications don't appear to work.

Lame

Lame

Yeah, not having notifications makes the feature a LOT less useful.
