PWA Help

[aj87]

I can see in the PWA Setup -
Your board meets the requirements to be an installable progressive web app.

Is there anything else I need to do as I cannot see the option to install to my desktop (using chrome)

It's not set up correctly.



Once you resolve those issues it may take up to 24 hours to show in the browser.

[Paul B]

Just upload the correct icons in the options -- admin.php?pwa -- for 192 and 512.

[Paul B]

Press F12 to open the browser inspector and go to Application > Manifest.

Hi brogan, last night I was able to download it as an app on one of my laptops. Then today I went on my work laptop and option is missing - so I looked at the manifest as mentioned above and see below - is this why?

 

[Paul B]

It's working fine now.

Does this install on mobiles in same way? thanks for all of your help @Brogan

It can take up to 24 hours to show in each device/browser.

For mobile devices look for the link at the bottom of the side nav menu.

@Brogan hi can you check my PWA again please. It seems that some people have the install app available and some don’t. I know not working on iPhone but these are android users and windows users (chrome and edge)

thanks

 

[Paul B]

It's working fine.

Any issues will be local to the users - such as outdated browser cache or unsupported devices (Apple).

Just annother heads up
A member may need to have a very good internet connection to be able to install the app

Eg I was on mobile data and tried to install the app the times and nothing happened (aside from a message that it was still installing the previous app)
Then when I turned off my mobile data, and used my home wi-fi, the PWA came up on my phone 3 times!
