    • iOS install prompt

    Safari doesn’t support PWA’s particularly well. The add to home screen setting is somewhat hidden, so we can guide the user though the process with a clean, simple set of instructions.

    Android install prompt

    The default android install prompt for a Progressive Web App can be a little annoying. You can’t control when it displays and it sits on the top of the browser, sometimes blocking content.

    Using some Javascript and a few elements we can create a much nicer install prompt for both Android and iOS, triggered on a dedicated download page. Adding screenshots, icons and descriptions to the manifest results in a cleaner, more inviting installation experience.
