In case anyone missed @289wk’s post above, we do have a fix coming in for this asap:

PWAs do not launch after upgrading to V1.35.104

opened 05:51PM - 24 Feb 22 UTC

crash release/blocking priority/P1 QA/Test-Plan-Specified feature/pwa OS/Desktop

## Test plan 1. Fresh profile 2. Visit https://twitter.com 3. Go to hamburger… menu; pick `More tools` > `Create shortcut...` 4. When window pops up, check the box `Open in new window` ### Expected result PWA should work; you can use it (sign into Twitter, etc). ### Actual result Twitter PWA will crash immediately ## Description Here is an associated community post: https://community.brave.com/t/updating-to-1-35-104-breaks-all-pwas/346680 This is from the Mac Console when opening the install dialog, installing, and trying to open the installed app: ``` error 17:45:39.637301+0000 kernel Sandbox: mdworker_shared(7777) deny(1) file-read-data /Users/craigmdennis/Applications/Brave Browser Apps.localized/.localized () error 17:45:39.642031+0000 mdworker_shared Error (non-fatal) enumerating <private>: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=257 "The file “.localized” couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it."
