Progressive Web App in Chrome Custom Tab

I am creating a progressive web application. When I open it in the Chrome browser, I correctly see that the "add to home screen" option appears in the bottom sheet. However, when I open my app in the Chrome Custom tab, the bottom "add to home screen" sheet does not appear.

Does anyone know if Chrome Custom Tabs support Progressive Web Apps manifest?

Update: I have filed a bug for Chromium for this issue https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=731171#c2

Chrome custom tabs can display the Add to Homescreen menu item, at least in recent builds of Chrome.

I can confirm that selecting the Add to Homescreen menu option manually will display the web application manifest data when the main screen is created.



However, I don't believe the Web Install Install Banner auto-launch logic is enabled for Chrome custom tab pageviews at this time I experimented a bit and never got a banner, at least.
