Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/2396

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Ensure that Amazon Shopping mobile app is installed on device
  2. Create a Login with required fields (user name, password)
  3. Add the URI: https://www.amazon.com, Save
  4. Attempt to LAUNCH the login from View item > URI > Launch button or Triple Dot > Launch
  5. Note that nothing appears to happen
  6. Edit the URI and save as https://amazon.com
  7. Repeat step 4, noting that it now launches the website
  8. Revert URI entry to https://www.amazon.com
  9. Uninstall Amazon Shopping app
  10. Repeat step 4, note that it now works

Expected Result

I would expect that any valid permutation of a URL that launches via a browser should work from within the Bitwarden app. Adding or removing "www." should not effect the behavior, as long as that URL is valid.

Actual Result

Using https://www.amazon.com instead of https://amazon.com, while the Amazon Shopping app is installed on the mobile device, does not work. Uninstalling the Amazon Shopping app allows both permutations or the URI to function properly using the LAUNCH action.

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

I have contacted Bitwarden support about this, and an issue should already be in the system tagged to the email "ttorrisi@gmail.com"

Per Adam in Bitwarden support, I am uploading a screen capture of this happening on my device along with some additional information.

Interestingly enough, the behavior also resolves itself when I disable "Open supported links" via:
Apps > Default Apps > Opening Links > Amazon Shopping

Within that list, I see 55 verified links. Also interesting is that while "www.amazon.com" is listed, "amazon.com" is NOT.

After further conversation with Adam, I wanted to add a bit more context. This also happens regardless of whether or not I include the protocol of https://.

The attached video shows all 4 permutations of the URL (amazon.com, www.amazon.com, https://amazon.com, https://www.amazon.com) and how the behavior changes based on whether "Open supported links" is enabled in the App settings.
