Yeah Hub on Android prompts you to save as a PWA. Probably because it is a webview, so exposes all native behaviour in the app. But in this context doesn’t make complete sense and probably should be disabled in Hub? (A bit of CSS could achieve and that?) These are not “true” apps, though the Android PWA is close. For full app experience, especially in iOS you still need: > [@Whitelisted Discourse app with Push Notifications via OneSignal](https://meta.discourse.org/t/whitelisted-discourse-app-with-push-notifications-via-onesignal/58247): > > Following up on the discussion [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-if-i-want-to-white-label-the-discourse-mobile-apps/53063/9), I have successfully set up a fork of the official Discourse app that can send push notifications via the OneSignal API. There are two parts to this: [discourse-onesignal](https://github.com/pmusaraj/discourse-onesignal/) - a Discourse plugin that sends Push Notifications to OneSignal’s REST API and a [Discourse Mobile Single Site App](https://github.com/pmusaraj/discourse-mobile-single-site-app) built similarly to the official Discourse Mobile app (using React Native), but using OneSignal for notifications and a simplified interface to suit the needs of a single app. I… (mainly for the real-time notifications). Edit: that said, I like the Hub because it provides a nice directory of Discourse instances you are participating in. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/creating-ios-and-android-apps/245153)._
