  • Don't upload your PWA to the app stores

    For a PWA to be listed in app stores, it must be wrapped within additional software. This wrapper tends to be less robust and not as finely tuned as mainstream browsers, a fact that even PWABuilder acknowledges.

    Not to trivialize anyone's discovery; always happy to have more people on this bandwagon!

    But I have to say, PWAs (progressive web apps) might blow Jim's mind here.

    https://docs.pwabuilder.com/#/home/pwa-intro

    excerpt (emphasis added): "Service workers are how progressive web apps work offline: service workers can _cache essential resources and handle requests when the network is down_. Every request to and from a PWA goes through the service worker, and there are a ton of different strategies for how to cache and fetch necessary resources."

    There 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.
