Failure to download HTML document (rmarkdown, knitr) on android device (using chrome)

I hosted an app on shinyapps.io that allows the user to download a knitr/rmarkdown HTML file of their work. It works from a PC but not a cell phone (android, chrome browser). I found the same issue on the related Rstudio gallery app: https://shiny.rstudio.com/gallery/download-knitr-reports.html.

  • The PDF downloads fine on android/chrome and PC/chrome.
  • The HTML download fails on android/chrome but works on PC/chrome.

How do I get the HTML download working on android/chrome?
