- siquick 4y agoCan you add a PWA to the Mac App Store?
- xet7 4y agoThere is some way for iOS, and some iOS apps work on M1, so maybe. Although Apple has been removing PWA style apps from App Store, so better check newest requirements somewhere at docs. https://www.pwabuilder.com https://www.pwabuilder.com https://docs.pwabuilder.com/#/builder/app-store https://docs.pwabuilder.com/#/builder/app-store
- hyperupcall 4y agoSafari heavily nerfs PWAs, making their use more questionable. It's possible that they also need more access to the underlying computer.
- xet7 4y agoReally? I'll test. Usually PWA icon is added this way: https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/PWA https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/PWA
- fragmede 4y agoYes - but users are used to installing things from the app store, so the PWA flow is unfamiliar.
- cercatrova 4y agoIn iOS, sure, but macOS? Most people I know install stuff outside the app store, it's still the case that many apps come as a dmg that you open and drag the app into the Applications folder.
