Can this be made to work on Safari too ?

That be really nice. After all, IPhone users are the ones that are my main targets for this, as I don't want to put my App into the AppStore but get asked frequently if its ever gonna be available for them too.

Safari is one of the only browsers that this won't work on. It's actually a big controversy since they seem to deliberately be shielding iOS users from new web technologies:

https://github.com/CodeOTR/pwa_install/issues/6 could be a workaround for this.
