@bobpepers

What is your exact app version? What link do you use for testing?

Sep 23 '24 10:09 levlam

I'm building a React application using the latest version of @twa-dev/sdk (v7.10.1). My test link is: https://t.me/SecretTip_dev_bot?startapp=SecretTip

The following code works fine on desktop (Ubuntu 24.04):

await ctx.replyWithHTML(message, {
  reply_markup: {
    inline_keyboard: [
      [
        {
          text: 'Open Mini App',
          url: miniAppUrl, // URL that opens the mini-app directly in Telegram
        },
      ],
    ],
  },
});

However, when testing on Android, the start_param is not available when using the startapp=testParameter. One key requirement for my Telegram mini-app is that it needs to be opened from a Telegram group because I rely on the initData to determine the group from which the app was initiated.

I haven't tested this on any other operating systems yet.

Is bug fixed? Maybe some workarounds?

for anyone having problem like this, try talk to BotFather and setup a webapp for your bot using /newapp. After finish, depends on your setting the link will be like t.me/bot_name/webapp_name then when you open t.me/bot_name/webapp_name?startapp=Rick your webapp will be able to get startapp params as Rick

This was it. I didn’t realize setting up a web app through BotFather was something I had to do. It worked fine on desktop, so I didn’t catch that it was necessary step for phones. Thank you.

I have ennabled the miniapp in the bot settings, but I still can't get the start_param in iOS and Android

Hi @bobpepers ，Can you tell me where webapp_name is set?

Sep 27 '24 04:09 AlansaladA

If you want to get the webapp_name, use /newapp to create an app for your bot.
