PWAs and Native Wrappers with AI
A progressive web app is often the fastest route to an installable product, and a native wrapper can extend it where needed. In this half-day workshop you use coding agents to add a manifest, service worker and offline behaviour to a web app. You then compare PWA and wrapper approaches and decide which fits your product.

Frequently asked questions
Is a PWA enough for the app stores?
A PWA can be installed from the browser. For store listings a wrapper is usually needed, which we cover.
Do PWAs work the same on every platform?
Support differs by platform. We point out the practical differences so you can plan around them.
Can we use our own web app?
Yes, a small existing web app works well, or we use a sample project.
