I have saved discourse on my iPhone as short cut app since discourse is PWA but I found one simple feature is missing. Which is going Back button. I tried to swipe left but not working. Is there any hidden tip to do this?

That’s us, not Apple. We implemented back/forward support on iOS PWA. It will land soon in the DiscourseHub app as well.

[תמונה]Progressive Web Application (PWA) It used to be full screen, but I changed it a few weeks ago because people asked here: Back button in Responsive app Yes, this is a problem. I just added the tag in one of my forums, and it worked - but the missing back-button is indeed a downer. Maybe one could offer an (optional) additional back-button in the menu bar, left from the search and burger-icons? [image]

We just gave up on the Apple current PWA implementation and detect iOS devices and remove the full screen aspect. This was inspired by the Starbucks PWA that did the same: [תמונה] Maximiliano Firtman @firt In case you didn’t realize @Starbucks PWA is now doing UA sniffing to change “display: standalone” with “display: browser” on iOS. I think it’s the right move today if you don’t hack your code for some use cases (such as OAuth logins). @Uber should be next. pic.x.com/RuLQvr6ErX[תמונה] 7:28 PM - 23 Jul 2018 38 5 If you want to propose (mockup, code, etc) a back button for the iOS PWA experience, please open a topic about it.

Swipe to go back has been a thing in Safari for the longest time. Is it disabled in PWAs or something?

Swipe to go back isn’t accessible or discoverable, especially when the platform standard is to either have a “back” button in the upper-left corner or not at all.

It is a built in mobile safari feature, I use it all the time.

[תמונה]Progressive Web Application (PWA) It is a built in mobile safari feature, I use it all the time. Heavens. It works! You have to catch the outermost left side - in a “regular” iOS App you may grab anywhere on the screen to swipe. Anyway: this seems to be disabled in PWA fullscreen mode: No back gesture on PWA iOS 11.3 | Apple Developer Forums dammit.

ahhh this is the problem. I was trying to find it. Is there anyway to go back to the setting via json or some jquery to override it via customizing the html, no meta tags do it. So im assuming this was gone before its just that the old shortcut was saved prior to then
