React-iOS-PWA-prompt

Polyfilling PWAs for iOS

Check out the demo!

A React component that provides a customisable Progressive Web App (PWA) prompt telling the user to 'Add to Home Screen'. The prompt behaviour is baked in to Android devices, yet iOS is still lagging behind. This component aims to provide a simple way to provide this functionality on iOS for websites that are PWA-ready. The prompt styles closely match iOS designs for both light and dark UI modes to appear native to the user.

Features

• 🛠 Fully configurable, set how many times you want to see it, and after how many page visits.
• 📃 PWA available offline? In full screen mode? Customise the content of your prompts message through props.
• ⚡️ Efficient. Very little overhead for non-iOS devices and does as little work as needed for each page load.
• 📱 Detects user's iOS version to provide the correct icon set.
• 🌕 Will display a dark mode if enabled on iOS 13 and 14.
