@SumuduF commented on GitHub (Dec 12, 2020):

I'm seeing the same issue. I noticed that not only is this affecting URIs on my vault items, but also seems to have broken the "Bitwarden Web Vault" and "Help and Feedback" items on the Settings page. That last one probably being the simplest example to investigate (AFAIK it is just a static URL and should be independent of any vault-specific stuff).

I have no experience with Android app dev but I'm wondering if maybe the problem is as simple as missing the Android 11 specific manifest stuff described here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/essentials/open-browser?tabs=android#get-started

Presumably there is also something like that required for androidapp:// URIs to work. To be clear those are not working for me either.

I'm unable to reproduce this on a Pixel 4a, but I'll take a closer look at the new manifest elements in case there's more going on here.

I can reproduce this on my Pixel 2. The URL looks to be correctly formatted and everything. My father was able to reproduce this on the Pixel 3 as well.

I can reproduce this issue using 2.8.0 (3349) from the playstore. Using a Pixel 3, Android 11, January 5 2021 security update.

Can not launch to web sites in the URIs/Website field using icon provided. Tapping provides no feedback or action.

Same on Galaxy Note20. Even the Help and Feedback button does nothing.
Unless the default browser is not Firefox. When using samsung's browser as default, everything works.

If using the Bitwarden Firefox extension, from it, it works. But setting Firefox as the default browser, requests from the Bitwarden app to open a URI don't work.

Same issue on Samsung Note 10+. There is also no auto-fill prompt at login screens in the browser (not sure if this is a feature). I.e.) visiting google.com in chrome and tapping the username input does not yield a dropdown menu or token in the keyboard tray for auto-filling the inputs (the latter being a feature for native apps).

I have formatted the URI to https, and http to no avail. The URI is also confirmed to exist.

@codihuston although the fix was merged it doesn't look like it's made it into a release yet, so the bug is still in the app. But I'm sure pretty soon we'll get an upgrade.

I'd search around and see if there is a different issue which exists for your auto fill troubles. That's outside the scope of this issue.

@grillop and @tiptruck version 2.8.2 (latest version rn) was released on January 25th which is about one month before the patch for this bug was merged. This bug should still be present, but I'm sure pretty soon we'll get an upgrade.
