I created a PWA android app from https://www.pwabuilder.com/ The problem is that there is no option to hide the URL bar. how do i hide url bar in app generated for andoid? I just want the site to be displayed.

The link below has a screenshot of the bar I want to hide in the WPA app. [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/6YO0p.png

More details: The https://www.pwabuilder.com/ system does not give you an option to hide the URL bar, but you can edit the "manifesto" file as shown in the screenshot of the link below:

https://prnt.sc/1h8hzgf

The manifest code is:

{
  "name": "Streaming Sou Power",
  "short_name": "Sou Power",
  "description": "Um salto an sua qualidade de vida",
  "icons": [
    {
      "src": "https://www.queroserpower.com/aulas/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2021/07/logo-aplicativo-sou-power.png",
      "sizes": "192x192",
      "type": "image/png"
    },
    {
      "src": "https://www.queroserpower.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/cropped-cropped-Logo-Horizontal-Branco-163x54.png",
      "sizes": "512x512",
      "type": "image/png"
    }
  ],
  "background_color": "#313131",
  "theme_color": "#313131",
  "display": "fullscreen",
  "orientation": "any",
  "start_url": "/aulas/?utm_source=superpwa&utm_medium=superpwa&utm_campaign=superpwa",
  "scope": "/aulas/",
  "screenshots": []
}

Would it be possible to hide the URL bar through some editing in this code?

You need to add digital asset links. This will make the address bar disappear from your app.

To add digital asset links, follow the instructions outlined here:

Your PWABuilder download will include a zip file that contains both your Android package (.aab) for uploading to the Store, an .apk file for testing on your Android phone or emulator, and also, a assetlinks.json file that needs to be uploaded to your server.

The asset links file proves domain ownership. Once you add that, the address bar will disappear from your app.
