"Add to Desktop" option missing on Mac

Project Member Reported by elawrence@chromium.org, Feb 1 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: 58.2998
OS: OS X Sierra 10.12.2

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open https://example.com
(2) Open the Chrome Menu > More Tools

"Add to Desktop" item is missing.

This looks to be related to the IsNewBookmarkAppsEnabled() check of a command-line flag?

Owen, any chance you know the story here? (Addy suggested you might). Thx!

This is intentional. This feature doesn't exist on OSX due to being an incomplete implementation. It can be enabled via a flag.
Owen-- Can you link to the bug tracking that implementation? Thanks!

I can't find that, although note we are intentionally not currently working on supporting this on OSX for product reasons.

cc benwells in case he has a link to a crbug for overall "bookmark apps on OSX" tracking
Issue 565591 is the first issue I found, it's not had much activity :)

Why is this WontFix? After all Google's talk about PWAs is this just not supported on Mac?

Comment 9 by sdy@chromium.org, Mar 30 2017

Re. #8, you might want to star issue 565591. The WontFix doesn't necessarily mean that it won't be added, only that the option being missing isn't exactly a bug.
sdy is right.

Filed a high level tracking issue for this. Please star that to express support and follow along! https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=707014
