Yes. However, these steps still exist and they drive down adoption of all PWA in the first place. Note that these steps also have an Android analogue, but on Android there is a button you can press to go to the appropriate settings page instead of having to navigate to it yourself.
- iainmerrick 3y agoIsn't this about native iOS apps, not PWAs?
- themoonisachees 3y agoI may have misread, but you can s/PWA/Third party app/g my comment and it applies all the same.
- iainmerrick 3y agoNo, it's not the same, for PWAs the process is much faster. I just checked on iOS. Here's an example PWA: https://mdn.github.io/pwa-examples/a2hs/ https://mdn.github.io/pwa-examples/a2hs/ The steps to install are (following the GP's format): 1. Visit the page 2. Press the share button in the toolbar 3. Scroll down a bit in the share panel 4. Tap "add to home screen" 5. Edit the name and click "done" (or "Add", both work) 6. Check your Home Screen and swipe to the last page 7. Finally, launch the app All the scary warning dialogs and face ID checks are only for native apps, just as for APKs on Android. Edit to add: hmm, it's possible there is some scary warning dialog the first time you install a PWA, and I've already skipped that, but I don't recall encountering such a thing before.
