Any update or progress on this?

Is this project already dead or what?

[ahmedkaludi]

It’s not dead but it’s extremely hard to deploy in iOS

Nice, since two people asked and there was no reply... Good to see you are still working on this plugin :-)

Incorrect, I had zero experience with apps and managed to upload my PWA and have it accepted in App Store, it's a little tricky but not extremely hard in anyway. If anyone needs help just message me

So you mean that when we create a PWA app we can submit them into Playstore and App Store and they will convert it to native? Can you outline that process please?

[themanchev]

For Google Playstore you can use pwabuilder.com and simply upload the generated file to the store. For App Store you need to have a MacBook and create a 'wrapper' app with webview (can add native notifications as part of the app, the PWA ones wont work). An option is Cordova, but I didn't use it as it didn't workout for me. I found another option on GitHub, it took 2-3 hours to figure it out and we had our app accepted on App Store in ~3 days.

Cool thanks a lot for that information :-) What is that other GitHub option for the notifications, please?

@themanchev Can you share the link to the other option you found on Github?

[marcorubiol]

@ahmedkaludi Are you working on that? Or finally you decided to not work on it?

[michael-newman]

Could you post an update on progress and timing?

[themanchev]

I'll share how i did it a bit later today or tomorrow, seems like the dev team abandoned this one.
We've been on the app store for 2 years now no issues.

[michael-newman]

@themanchev, that would be awesome! VERY much appreciate it!

[themanchev]

I got quite delayed since i couldnt find the repo, but I believe i've used this one:

Hoping to spark some activity here - I have had success using Microsoft's iOS wrapper in PWABuilder. I think if the plugin added official support for that wrapper (huge win if you get push working, too!), you could count this as resolved/complete :)
