Hi,

I am working on a progressive web app which is developed with Ruby on Rails.

I am having an issue with the breadcrumb using the app title.

I have noticed that when I have the PWA open and open a notification, in the top left corner it has a back arrow with untitled next to it, instead of the app name. Haven't found any docs arround this issue.

I have specified the apple-mobile-web-app-title, and this works for the App icon text:
%meta{ :name => "apple-mobile-web-app-title", :content => "MyApp" }

Anyone come across this issue or have any ideas as to how to fix this?

It used to work. I think on ios 12 and maybe 13.x. I just saw Untitled for the first time today though I hadn’t tested it for a few months. Maybe a recently introduced bug by the Safari team? Did you log a bug?

Also, have you tried putting the apple-mobile-web-app-title meta tag before any other meta tags in case some of the other Apple meta tags are crashing the Apple meta tag reader?

I'm seeing this problem consistently in iOS 13.6.1, not inconsistently as in the Stack Overflow question. The code itself was working previously, and the rearrangement suggested on SO didn't help any.
