Browser Capabilities

Hyper PWA is built using modern Progressive Web App (PWA) standards and supports all major browsers that implement Service Workers and the Web App Manifest.

Fully Supported
* Google Chrome (Desktop & Android)
* Microsoft Edge (Desktop & Android)
* Samsung Internet
* Brave
* Opera
* Safari (macOS)
* Safari (iPhone & iPad)

Partially Supported
* Mozilla Firefox (Offline caching and Service Workers are supported, but native PWA installation experience is limited on desktop.)

Notes
* PWA installation is best supported in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera).
* On iPhone and iPad, users can install the app using Share → Add to Home Screen.
* Push notifications are supported on Android browsers and on iOS/iPadOS 16.4+ after the app is installed to the Home Screen.
* Some advanced PWA features (such as install prompts, app shortcuts, background sync, and link capturing) vary depending on the browser and operating system.
* Progressive Web Apps require your website to be served over HTTPS (a secure origin).

Progressive Web App Troubleshooting

If your Progressive Web App (PWA) is not working as expected or you don’t see the Install App or Add to Home Screen prompt, try the following:

• Make sure your website is served over HTTPS. PWAs require a secure origin (SSL certificate) to enable installation, offline support, and other core features.
• Verify that you are using a supported browser and device. PWA installation is best supported in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera). Safari supports installation on iPhone and iPad using Share → Add to Home Screen.
• Ensure your App Icon is a valid PNG image. For best compatibility, provide at least 192×192 px and 512×512 px icons.
• Confirm that your Web App Manifest and Service Worker are loading correctly and are not blocked by your theme, security plugins, CDN, or server configuration.
• If you are using a CDN or caching plugin, purge all caches after updating your PWA settings.
• Some browsers delay or suppress the install prompt until the website meets all PWA installability requirements and the user has interacted with the site.
• If the issue persists, open a support ticket and include your website URL along with a description of the problem. We’ll be happy to help investigate.
