I have a small mobile app (around 10mb) and wanted to add a download button for it on my website so users could easily download the apk straight to their phone, and since .apk files aren’t supported i used the AnyFile app from the wix app maket for the button, but for some reason, whenever i click it on my phone in my chrome browser, a ‘wix. anyfileapp. net…’ tab pops up and then disappears after a split second, and the download doesn’t start. It does however work on firefox, duckduckgo and my phone’s stock browser, (a blank page with the ‘wix. anyfileapp. net…’ link pops up and then the browsers download prompt pops up) but since most people use chrome, its still a deal breaker. I was watching some tutorials trying to find a solution and i came across a video of someone making a download button that triggers a save/download window to popup (link https://www.youtube(dot)com/watch?v=33HT0TY1r9E&t=44s&ab_channel=CodeQueen ), but they were using the wix databse and since i cant store apk files there, i dont know how I could do this with an external source. Does anyone know why chrome may be doing this, or another way i could link an externally hosted file to a button? (preferably without redirecting to another page).
Thanks in advance, all help is appreciated
This forum is dedicated to Corvid. Your issue seems to be a browser compatibility problem. For questions that are not related to code you can contact Wix Customer Care . You should also check with the technical support for Chrome.
Your idea of hosting the file externally is a possible solution. You will have to determine the requirements from the host.
Thanks for the reply, im gonna try and contact them about it
