Andorid app url broken on chrome (mobile) by target

Description

---

New installations have the url for the android app still broken on chrome mobile users. I’ve found that with the commit: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/commit/e729f0948cc57102bd8406b40cc1f92125c1603f there was an attempt to fix this, but seems that adding target attribute breaks the redirection.

Being the url structure:

<a class="deep-linking-mobile__href" href="intent://meet.instance.com/test#Intent;scheme=org.jitsi.meet;package=org.jitsi.meet;end" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Continue to the app</a>

Current behavior

---

Intent URL link is broken for android app through Google Chrome, thus users can’t join the chat. As a side note, Firefox can parse the current url state.

Expected Behavior

---

Click on “Continue to the app” and open room on the Jitsi meet android app.

Possible Solution

---

Removing target=“_blank” from url fixes de issue. Testing on firefox seems fine, as it won’t affect the action. @saghul https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/react/features/deep-linking/components/DeepLinkingMobilePage.web.js#L133

Steps to reproduce

---

1. Create a new instance using apt repository.
2. Create a chat room.
3. Try to join from Google Chrome mobile browser using the “Continue to the app” link.
4. Broken link with empty window

Great!! Sorry the delay I noticed that is necessary make sure you are using also the latest updates on all your mobile apps.
