To add a progressive web app to the home screen on iOS, doesn't the user have to use the share menu (and even then, it's buried a bit -- the user has to page the share options at least once to find it)? There's no way to display a prompt to add it, like with Chrome/Firefox on Android?
That's how it was the last time I checked, and it was enough for my employer to say no.
- TrueGeek 8y agoYes. There is no way to prompt the user and, to make it worse, it can only be done from Safari. If the user is using a browser from the app store (like Chrome) it can't be done at all.
- clarky07 8y agoYeah it is massively worse user experience than installing an app from the app store. I feel like anyone suggesting it is better has an agenda of some sort. It's objectively worse in every way for the user. Suggesting the $100 is a barrier to entry is absolutely laughable. If you are going to talk about money talk about the 30% cut they take. That's really the only reasonable argument in favor of them.
