Apple has given its support to Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) in the most recent version of iOS, joining Google and others in supporting a new standard for web-based apps. I have installed SuperPWA on the Kiva Dachshunds website which uses Newspaper 8.7.
I haven’t run into any conflicts and as long as the “Apple Touch Icons” are set in Newspaper’s theme panel, the app seems to work as expected on iOS.
After a brief search of this forum, it seems that tagDiv isn’t too interested just yet in bringing native PWA support to Newspaper or even recommending a preferred plugin.
I remember a similar attitude toward Google AMP when I suggested that support for it be added to Newspaper over a year ago. I was told at the time by various people that it was impossible, not worth doing, unnecessary and that the standard WordPress solution worked fine.
Now, we have an AMP solution provided by tagDiv. I can only hope a PWA solution follows a similar path.
Hello,
The decisions are taken based on popularity. Probably when you requested AMP, there were just a few requests for this feature. The growing popularity of AMP made us implement it into the theme. This happens with every popular request. If PWA becomes more popular then we will most likely make the implementation for it as well. I cannot say for sure now, as the requests are still limited.
We get lots of requests and have to prioritize based on popularity.
Thank you for understanding.
Did the SuperPWA worked perfectly upon the website to convert into Progressive Web Apps?
