iOS supports PWA from 11.3 onward, and the user still has to manually select "Add to home screen". Automatic prompts do not work.

Wait, if there are no prompts, how does the user get asked if they want to add to home screen? I thought a popup prompt came up when viewing the site. Where does the user manually select it if there is no prompt?

Yup, I'm not seeing that option. My iPhone is running 12.4 and Chrome 76.0... should that option be showing for me?Same was as doing it manually in Android I would think,

It should. If you send me a URL I can check if it's setup correctly.

Yeah, it looks like Chrome doesn't support it on iPhones at the moment. Hopefully they do at some point, though I realize most people on iPhones use Safari.

Okay so I've added this to my forum, customised the file. Created (already had these) icon files.
I use CloudFlare and Amazon S3. So I'm not sure the service worker file is being located (THIS guy said that's a thing)?
How can I test this to see if my service worker file is actually being located and asked for?
