Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are designed to be web applications that work across different platforms and devices, providing a native app-like experience. PWAs are primarily supported on modern web browsers that adhere to the standards set by the W3C and other relevant bodies.
PWAs support the following operating systems:
Windows: PWAs can be accessed via Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, and other modern web browsers on Windows 10 and later versions.
macOS: On macOS, PWAs can be accessed using Safari, Google Chrome, and other compatible browsers.
Linux: PWAs are supported on various Linux distributions through browsers like Firefox, Google Chrome, and Chromium-based browsers.
Android: PWAs can be accessed on Android devices using Google Chrome, Firefox, and other modern web browsers. They can also be installed as standalone apps on the home screen.
iOS: Although iOS does not fully support all PWA features due to restrictions imposed by Apple, PWAs can still be accessed via Safari on iOS devices. Some features like service workers and offline support may not work as expected.
Example: A PWA for a news website can be accessed on a Windows laptop using Google Chrome, on an Android smartphone using Firefox, and on an iPhone using Safari. The user experience will be consistent across these platforms, with features like offline reading, push notifications, and a home screen shortcut.
For deploying PWAs, cloud services like Tencent Cloud can provide robust hosting solutions, ensuring high availability and scalability. Tencent Cloud's services, such as Cloud Storage and Content Delivery Network (CDN), can help in delivering PWAs quickly and efficiently to users worldwide.
