With Joomla to the mobile web app (PWA)
As soon as the user with an Android smartphone goes to the web page, the browser will display a notice if you want to add the web page to the start screen. After clicking, a new pop up is generated to add this PWA to the device.
Depending on your browser, this message may not appear until after a repeated call. The Google Chrome Browser also displays an "Install Button" in the browser input line on the right side of the desktop.
It would also be possible to place a separate "install button" on the website or mobile web app to trigger the installation of the Progressive Web App.
iOS Install Banner (PWA)
On iOS, no automatic banners are displayed for installation, and there is no button installation option yet. This is remedied by a note banner, which points out the installation possibility of the PWA (Progressive Web App).
Start the Joomla PWA (Progressvie Web App) on Android and iOS
Like any app, this is started by "touching" the icon you have previously configured in the Joomla Plugin. When you open the app, a splash screen with logo and background will appear as usual, which is configured via the plugin.
For viewing the actual app, different views can be set, from "fullscreen", "minimal-ui", "standalone" or "browser".
App Shortcuts
App shortcuts are shortcuts to quickly access parts of the app in the PWA.
The user can access the app shortcuts either by right-clicking the desktop application or by force touch on the Android smartphone. (Support from Chrome Version 84)
Web App Info
After the installation you cannot distinguish how the app was installed on Android. The app mutates accordingly to the native app.
The usual App-Info screen is displayed with information, memory usage and notification per week, as well as the possibility to uninstall.
Optimal performance for the user
miTT PWA for Joomla supports the cache API of the browser. The Service Worker takes care that static files, images, webfont and the content of the pages are put into the "Service Workers" cache of the browser. This cache is static and performant and is also controllable in contrast to the "memory cache" of the browser.
You can choose between Network First, Cache First or depending on the quality of the effective Internet connection for loading the page contents. This makes this PWA component unique and guarantees an optimal performance for the visitor.
