No attachments possible on teams bot on android - botframework

On Android devices Teams is not showing a paperclip to send images when talking to a bot?
Manifest has been configured with supportFiles: true
On iOS or Windows it was never an issue.
Its a blocking problem, since my customers wants to use Android devices.

#sammydeprez Sending and receiving files through Teams Mobile App is not supported as documented here.

Microsoft Teams bot messaging extension: invoke/selectItem not working as expected

So we are currently building a bot / app for Microsoft Teams and have based our query/search messaging extension on this code sample: https://github.com/microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/blob/master/samples/javascript_nodejs/50.teams-messaging-extensions-search/bots/teamsMessagingExtensionsSearchBot.js
This works fine on the desktop client of Teams when we post a NEW conversation (selectItem is invoked correctly). When using this for a reply however, after selecting the entry, the reply area just closes and does not render any card... Also, on Teams mobile (latest Android version), selectItem is never called. There is a button to expand the card but it's not working..
I could live with mobile not working as expected, though having it this broken in replies is making the selectItem basically useless..
Thanks
This is a known issue. We already have a bug on this which is being tracked. Thanks!!

Does the Android application for Teams use an in-app browser?

I have an application for Teams that works fine when I use browsers: Chrome, Firefox... and with the Desktop application for Teams.
On the other hand If I try to use this application in my mobile with the Android application for Teams, in this case is not working.
In this application I'm using a indexedDB and I think that this is the problem. I would like to know whether the Android application for Teams is using an in-app browser or another type of in-app browser for Android.
During my researchers I have found this about indexedDB and the Android browsers
How can I check the version of my Android Browser?
Could you help me with this problem?

Ms Teams Bot Icon is not displayed

I've used app studio from MS Teams to creat a manifest for a Bot App. I've uploaded the full color picture as well as trasparent outlone. However the icon is not displaying at the chat window. Only the default icon is visivle.
Any ideas, how can I solve the issue? Thanks a lot!
Is your bot sideloaded or uploaded to your organization's private app store? In those cases, the image used for the bot in the chat window is taken from the bot registration in Bot Framework. (This is a known issue that we're tracking.)
To change your bot's icon:
If you registered your bot using App Studio:
Go to https://dev.botframework.com/bots and sign in with the same account you use in Teams
Select your bot, then go to Settings
Click on "Upload custom icon"
If you registered your app using the Azure portal:
Go to the Bot Service or Bot Channels Registration resource in Azure
Go to Settings
Upload a custom icon
As #Adrian Solis answer is indeed correct, I just wanted to add that it can also be related to caching issues. If you are changing icons and want to check if everything is working as expected, you can delete your browsers cache or the cache of the Microsoft Teams Windows App.
The Microsoft Teams Windows App has the following cache folders. Just stop the app, delete everything in this folders and start it again.
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\application cache\cache\
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\blob_storage\
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Cache\
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\databases\
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\GPUcache\
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\IndexedDB\
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Local Storage\
%appdata%\Microsoft\teams\tmp\

Handoff for custom Apps

I am working on entertainment App, I have a query regarding iOS8 handoff feature. I have read about handoff that can be use for safari or other standard iOS Apps only. Is this applicable for custom Apps also?
Thanks,
Purushotham Jinka
No that's not true.
You can handoff between a custom app on one device and the same custom app (or at least from the same developer) on another.
If you only have one app for iOS, you can even handoff between that app and Safari on another if your app experience can be continued on the web.
