Strange Open Link behaviour

Questions about Thunkable
1

In my app, I’m using an open link block to go to a Playstore, with a join block, like this:

While it’s working properly on the web, it’s not going anywhere on Thunkable phone live test. I tried removing the join block, and keeping the default Thunkable link,(https://thunkable.com) it worked. Then I tried linking the block to just Playstore home page, with no search terms, and it didn’t work. I then thought that maybe it wasn’t accepting two keywords(surprisingly, the computer test was working), so I just gave it a one-word search term to no avail. I also put blocks in the error section(from textinput1 set text to “Error”) but nothing showed up.
Any idea what to do?
Thanks.

I tested with this

The page opens as expected from both the Web Live and the Thunkable app in mobile

So I assume it’s something to do with the phone then. A kind of restriction or some kind of security to prevent other apps from reaching this specific link or other links.

Oh ok. Thanks for your help.

But the funny thing is, it opened Thunkable and couldn’t open Playstore.
