It seems to be an issue to access the USB api in Android. A lot of phones come with preinstalled USB drivers. When you connect the device, the driver "takes the control", so when the navigator.usb api tries to connect it can't. The navigator.api does not have any method to disconnect/force this access as far as I know. Some phones like pixel 2 can work, and others like pixel 6 or 7 don't. I doubt we have in PWA another way to access this devices, without wrapping the PWA into an app that can do this usb disconnect before, some easier idea? Confirmed that it works in a Pixel 2: But this PR is ok, so I think it can be merged. At least it will work for "some users", while we try to find a better solution, that can take time, or Chromium fixes the issue: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/40137537 that I suppose will take a lot more time. |

I close this, it is going to be replaced by #3955 |
Android (and other systems) didn't have the
navigator.serialAPI. This is an effort to replace it with theweb-serial-polyfilllibrary, that is a replacement of the other but using thenavigator.usbAPI to connect with the serial device.NOTE: This has not been tested, I make the PR to try to test it under netlify because
navigator.usbneeds a secure-context.
