How can I Progressive Web App (PWA)-specific scenarios on devices in Live?

PWAs work just like any other web-app or website mostly. Hence any scenario you may want to test on Live with a regular website, you should be able to do so with a PWA. 

PWA-specific specific scenarios, such as adding the PWA app icon to the device home-screen, the browser used to access the same should provide support for it to be able to work. 

To add a PWA on the home-screen on an Android device, you may: 

  1. Open any PWA on the Chrome browser
  2. Open the browser menu next to the URL bar indicated by three vertical dots. 
  3. Choose the `Add to Home screen` item 
  4. Head to the Home screen by clicking on the Live session-toolbar menu item “Show Home Screen”
  5. The PWA icon should be visible on the Android Home screen

To add a PWA on the home-screen on an iOS device, you may: 

  1. Open any PWA on the Safari browser
  2. Open the Bookmark menu next below the URL bar (looks like a box with an arrow pointing upward)
  3. Choose the `Add to Home Screen` item 
  4. Head to the Home screen by clicking on the Live session-toolbar menu item “Show Home Screen”
  5. The PWA icon should be visible on the iOS Home screen
