Description
Description:
When I open a pdf, it sends me to the play store searching for a reader when there are already apps capable of handling pdfs installed.
Environment Information:
- Rocket.Chat Server Version: 4.8
- Rocket.Chat App Version: 4.32.0.35745
- Device Name: Pixel 5a
- OS Version: Android 13
Steps to reproduce:
- Click on Pdf attachment
Expected behavior:
Open with app used for pdf (or prompt if one wasn't already selected)
Actual behavior:
Opens google play with application/pdf in search field. It does download the file and when I open the file using the file app, it opens correctly.
Additional context:
Pdfs open fine using other applications on this device.
