Offline Functionality in Richmond Studio

App Download

  • The application must be downloaded through the PWA (Progressive Web App).

Android

How to download a PWA on Android?

  • Open the browser (usually Google Chrome).

  • Go to the website of the application you want to install as a PWA.

  • Wait for the page to fully load.

  • In the top right corner, tap the three-dot icon (options menu).

  • Select the option <Add to Home screen> or <Install app> (depending on the browser).

  • Enter the name you want to use to identify the app on your home screen (optional).

  • Click on <Install>.

The PWA will be downloaded and will appear as an icon on your home screen, just like a regular app.


iOS

How to download a PWA on iPhone / iPad?

  • Open the browser (usually Safari).

  • Go to the website of the application you want to install as a PWA.

  • Click on the <Share option> (square with an upward arrow).

  • Scroll through the options and choose <Add to Home Screen>.

  • Change the name if you want and tap <Add>.

Open the app from the icon that was added to the Home Screen (it runs in full screen, like an app).


Considerations:

  • I don’t see “Add to Home Screen / Install”: the site may not be a PWA. On iPhone/iPad, only Safari allows app-like installation; other browsers only create shortcuts.

  • Updates: PWAs update automatically; if something doesn’t appear, close and reopen the app or force a reload within the PWA.

  • Permissions (notifications, camera, location): granted the first time the app requests them to function properly.

  • Uninstall:

    • iPhone/iPad: press and hold the icon ▸ Delete App

    • Android devices: press and hold the icon ▸ Uninstall
